with the coming of AI and tech changing day by day what makes someone optimistic about this field? not just in terms of tech but also how the job situations will change ?

Work on tech that takes time to learn, learn about UX and Design Psychology, go deeper not into frameworks but how the entire tech facilitates the Frontend dev. GenAI can build you working template of your FE, add styles, buttons etc, which even takes a good FE not more than a few mins to an hour(if design is handy). It can't optimize for User Interaction, latency with BE, memory management, authentication flows and session state management. That's what you should get your hands in

Do you think we will be obsolete in the next 5 years? Why do you think that won't be the case for backend devs?

I don’t think it will be the case for backend or front end.

Building basic apps might be replaced. I have worked in a sophisticated and complex frontend driven product where the main selling point is UI/UX Many enterprise products have bad UI/UX. Migrating and maintaining them will require good fronted devs. Enterprise won't give ChatGPT access due to the leak of internal code into public. Probably might help devs to move things faster in certain aspects. But not completely replace them. Where will the government get tax and run the country if no one has a job. Policies and politics comes first before ChatGPT replaces us.

backend will be safe, frontend will perish and AI will take over. I hope you needed this confirmation, lol

The opportunities will decrease because AI would do the grunt work. But the quality of work will drastically increase. All you can do is upskill.

That is another way of saying that average coders will be out of work because AI will replace them But the great coders (who are small in number) will have a job

That is true for everything despite AI.

What do you viners think of the future of frontend development

I know AI will take care of most of it but want to see some specific takes on what can be frontend in the future. Trying to make a case study here.

Do frontend engineers have any future?

I can see folks looking down on Frontend Engineering, why is it so? Is there a pay gap between frontend and backend.

What's the Reality of Front End Development?

Is it really just changing the UI a little? Or centring a div, changing colors etc. What do Front End Engineers actually do?

Folks, what does the future (after 50+) hold for us, the IT professionals (Dev, Design, PMs, etc) ?

I am curious to understand how the future looks like. For now, I think we have a clear aim. Most might not want to startup as they are well satisfied with solving other's problems. But come to think of it, I have not seen much ppl above 50 years of age in the IT industry. With 90's and 80's generation slowly inching towards that phase, how do you guys think it will shape up? straight question : do we have a chance?

Frontend roadmap and career

To all the fellow UI, Frontend developers what roadmap or career do you see for yourself after working more than 10years into the field? Would you change your field to some new domain such as Data or AI? Management is one possible and common direction.

Career guidance- frontend reactjs dev requirement in EU

I am going to graduate in 2023, my interest is mostly front-end development (ReactJS). I am looking for career guidance. I see that there is a huge rise in ReactJS developers due to the lockdown and find that I need to learn a new skill to stand out from the crowd. I am planning to study cloud computing or continue with front-end development, which I am still learning. I also want to apply to European cities in the coming time. What is the minimum years of experience required? How is the demand for front-end developers there?

People are underestimating AI pace. Just yesterday, Meta released open sourced code llama which is better than chatgpt and github copilot

And remember, this is open sourced based in only 34 billion parameter.... People have no idea what they are going to witness in a year or two .... In 5 years, there will be no need of hiring most developers for insane salaries...

The only areas where AI is flourishing are shamming, spamming & scamming

GPT just sorts the men from the boys. Can it do stuff on its own? No not really. Not good stuff. Can it act as a multiplier to your output? Yes. Massively so. It’s not a silver bullet for every unsolved problem. But what it can do is put your personal productivity on steroids. It’s not an alien invasion as some people claimed, but it is on par with word processing in terms of productivity gains.

What do Frontend devs do in India after 12-14years of work ex?

I have 10years of work ex totally into FE. Outside India, there are a lot of IC roles and Architect roles for Frontend Devs but not the same in India. Wonder what role do they transition to given they have been totally into FE. Moving to Backend doesnt make sense IMO. Manager option is for Backend folks. Almost all the openings I see for Tech Managers, their requirements revolve around backend tech.
