I don't think it's correct to generalize front-end work like this. I've found it very underwhelming for the kind of front-end stuff I do. It makes embarrassing mistakes. I've found it quite useful for a lot of the braindead code I need to write for CRUD backends though.

It's good at stuff that most competent engineers can get right while also having the sort of knowledge breadth an average engineer would lack. You really need to be a domain expert to accurately judge its output in specific areas.

Well I wasn't intending to generalize front end work as "easy enough for LLM" what I meant to say was that, since I have no experience with it, its output good enough for me. Classic Gell-Mann amnesia
