Ask HN: How are front end friends doing these days?

1•BearBest•37m ago
With the popularity of AI tools, how are front-end folks doing?

BG: My company recently laid off a group of people, most of them from R&D, and among R&D, most were front-end.

Ai is weak for front ends. We do hand coding for all UI related things.

Envious. We are a B2B company, and many front-end component libraries are basically fixed. There is rarely any separate design.

Web frontend? IT's arguably where it's the strongest, but perhaps not for the styles and visuals, but FEs are mostly state management. LLMs shine at react JS and TS, because of all the examples in the training data.

I'd be surprised if FE is not the biggest impacted domain, followed by backend but backend still has a lot more risk despite it being more straight forward.
