Generative AI
AI tools can now generate frontend code in seconds. You can describe a UI, and instantly get components, layouts, styling, and even basic interactions. What used to take hours of manual work can now be scaffolded almost immediately. But there is a critical gap between: AI-generated code that works and production-ready frontend systems That gap is where real engineering begins. AI can generate UI. But production readiness is not about generation - it is about reliability, structure, performance, and maintainability at scale.
