This applies not only to front-end development, but to all technical fields. As AI develops, the original scope of responsibilities and skill requirements will change. It's not the front-end development team or front-end technology that's dying; it's the old work patterns that are dying. Previously, if a business had an idea, it needed to be described to the front-end developer, who would then implement it, and the business team would verify it. Now, we simply use AI to build a prototype for our business. If we're not satisfied, we modify and adjust it ourselves; if it's unreliable, we just discard it. However, even if the business requirements have been validated, professional front-end/technical staff are still needed to implement them and solve deployment, security, and performance issues. Front-end development allows AI to do many tedious tasks. Front-end developers may no longer need to spend a lot of time building scaffolding from scratch, searching for npm packages and technology frameworks, or reinventing the wheel. Many manual tasks can be done by AI, allowing them to focus their energy on more valuable things. Front-end developers can leverage AI to expand their capabilities. Front-end developers no longer need to limit themselves to just front-end development; they can also work on back-end development and operations.
There's no need to declare front-end development or design dead every time AI is upgraded. Trees die when transplanted, but people thrive when they move. Front-end development is not dead, it's just that the working mode has been upgraded.
