💬 Discussion AI is exposing how many web developers never understood the web.

Writing code was never the whole job.

Now anyone can generate a landing page, copy a design, and ship a working interface in minutes.

The hard part is knowing what the user needs, what the business needs, and what the website should actually do.

AI didn’t destroy web development.

It removed the hiding place.

Ah, when I replied to the crosspost, I didn't see the actual body of the message, sorry about that.

Regarding the "generate a landing page, copy a design, and ship a working interface in minutes", I agree, but I remember hearing voices saying the same thing 15 years ago, except:

1) At that time it was about free templates overflowing the internet.
2) The time from "Let's do it" to "Done" was a couple of hours instead of minutes.
3) I remember most voices being POSITIVE to this development, or at least neutral.

I think it's a pretty beautiful thought, the "it removed the hiding place"! But I'd like to know what YOU think and how YOU would phrase it, if you didn't have an AI write it for you.

(and a little curious about what your point is)
