NextJS for work, Svelte for fun. (Laag) 4 days ago

I believe AI will replace the low-level, bootcamp "web technician" and CMS developer; both tend to spew out recycled solutions and don't tend to innovate based on bare-metal CS principles. In a saturated market, being "just passable" will get you replaced.

As for legitimate *engineers* that understand the math and algorithms behind the solutions they're implementing? Not a chance. AI is horrible at crafting new designs and even worse at optimizing a program's runtime efficiency. Check the Lighthouse score between a website developed with Wix AI vs a FS web dev; AI doesn't hold a candle, as it can't optimally tailor every single element to the client's needs. This won't change, as clients' needs will always be unique.

Because brands would always need "unique" interfaces and AI kind of tends to repetition of existing experience. So, to invent new innovative UI solutions we still would need some human-beings that provide better solutions for other humans. Of course, AI would help us with such tasks, but not entirely replace us.

This job will be accessible only to passionate programming guys in the future. They learn coding stuff all the time for their entire life. If you want to learn once and then use it for decades, learn something else.

If it is not automated, it will be offshored for peanuts. Getting a job is very tough. For the amount of knowledge necessary to actually be employed, your efforts are better rewarded doing something else. I just applied for a role, and the employer didn't just want the listed technologies, but a laundry list of other frameworks, languages, and tools.  If it requires so much knowledge now to get hired, imagine the future.

Kotlin is superior 4 days ago

I can partially agree. But, if companies rely too much on budget-cuts/offshoring/automation, the increase in cybersecurity will have to go up. Hackers are incredible innovators and mathematical artists; where a company lacks in investment, they leave themselves wide open to vulnerabilities and oversights. I expect there may be a period where they'll offshore too many jobs... and when a zero-day security response is necessary, the company won't have an answer.

I see a lot of web builders online that makes impressive websites just by giving a prompt and in 20 years I don't see how people would pay humans to create website while there are a lot of impressive and super fast generative AIs out there. Which is just going to improve...

Yes, current versions of AI can spew out code that is semi-coherent even absolutely on point right now, but still requires a lot of oversight. I have doubts that it will be able to fully understand the assignments without detailed guidance, for which an actual person is needed. The AI will ease the work of developers, but not replace it.

Because, web developer's job is not a 100% human only job, but robots can't completely takeover as its might required human creativity

Because AI might be good at helping you generate loops and snippets of code to find solutions, but asking an AI to make a dedicated, advanced and working app is like asking a cat to get off of your keyboard. It ain't going to happen.

That's a very valid point. Human desire is endless and it makes it more complex over and over. There's nowhere to end the problems, problems occur endlessly no matter how technologies improve.

I am a web developer and often leverage AI. Once to test Gemini, I asked it to write me simple code in tailwind for a carousel based on the image input. I copy pasted the code into my VS code and guess what? The entire work I have been doing till now got bugged. I tried making some adaptive changes like renaming classes and all and finally, there was no reason to collide with my code. But still, the code doesn't seem to work.
What I am trying to say is AI is helpful but it can never be enough to give code for a customized fully functioning website because some aspects like hover colours all require some kind of human touch. While cheap dudes will be happy with these results, big businesses and brands still need web developers. Website is also more than coding and includes many aspects like brand identity, customer target, etc. something AI can't mimic.

No, because AI might be good at generating CSS and simple sorting logic for an array of numbers. But tell it to fix a problem in your code, and it will bug the app out. I asked for a solution once for my React app. It solved the problem, but later that day I found out it had created an infinite loop, which crashed my app when an event was called. I had to reset the back a few commits.

That is what one gets by blindly trusting the code AI gives you.

The recent advancements seen in the use of ChatGPT, Devin and GitHub Copilot are all hinting that the jobs of beginners and moderately skilled Web-developers are highly likely to be taken by AI and its subsequent technologies.

Although AI is capable of creating a website or web apps, it could never replace experienced people.
Imagine an average human trying to create a website. They have no idea about optimization, SEO, security, transferring a domain name, or any other variables and possibilities in the process of creating a website; There are countless things to consider.
An AI technology itself is in need for an engineer to maintain it.
I tried created some designs using AI, and I tragically failed because I have no experience in graphic design.

chatgpt already can generate fully-fledged web pages that you can customize using prompts.

Web Developer doesn't do just design (which ChatGPT fails miserably by my experience), web developers can do front end and back end development. If you try to ask a chatbot to do a bit more complex assignment where static variables and functions are needed it cannot differentiate if it is needed or not. It regurgitates the code it was trained on and can parrot back real good. The job is pretty secure until a model appears that can mimic a creative thought.

AI is already able to generate code, in particular code that solves common and simple issues that already have solutions online as part of the AI's database. Currently the AI's code generation ability is not good enough to replace the developer but that will likely change in the next years as web development frameworks compete to integrate AI.

The integration of AI into these frameworks will allow it to generate and test much more complicate code effectively, allowing web designers to interatct with the framework on their own to get the code they need without any need for a developer, as the technical skill required to interact with such a framework will become much shallower.
