Can you elaborate?

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

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.

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?

well general tech stacks i meant only ..

i feel like there are doubts in my mind about these tech stacks now in these tech stacks

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

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...
