Before LLMs, we did not fully understand the libraries we read, the kernels we touched, the networks we only grasped conceptually. We' have always been outsourcing intelligence to other engineers, teams, and systems for decades.

One possible reason is that we use a library, we can tell ourselves we could read it. With an LLM, the fiction of potential understanding collapses. The real shift I am seeing isn't from "understanding" to "not understanding."

It is towatds "I understand the boundaries, guarantees, and failure modes of what I'm responsible for." If agentic coding is the future, mastery becomes the ability to steer, constrain, test, and catch failures - not the ability to manually type every line.

My name is Karan, and I'm a Frontend Developer, but I feel like I'm more of a Design Engineer because of my love for creating UIs

When I started my development journey, I fell for frontend development and stuck with it ever since

But I noticed that many of my friends hated writing CSS because creating UIs is a very tedious and time-consuming process, and you have to be pixel-perfect

But at the same time, they also wanted their project to look premium with beautiful animations and a world-class user experience

That's when I thought

"What if anyone could integrate beautiful animated components into their website regardless of their CSS skills?"

And after six months of pain and restless nights, I finally
