I wonder whether AI being the new and shiny thing will lead to a reduction in ‘innovation’ in front-end frameworks. Front-end dev seems to me to have been a solved problem for years now, yet there are still new ways of doing things for marginal gains. I personally just use vanilla JS (having never built anything Facebook-scale which would necessitate using a tool like React) and would be happy if instead of working on yet more front-end stuff, folk will otherwise build something AI-related, both because that is where the hype is but also because it’s genuinely exciting.
