i think i can guess this article without reading it: ive never been on major drugs, even medically speaking yet using AI makes me feels like i am on some potent drug that eating my brain. what's state management? what's this hook? who cares, send it to claude or whatever

It's just a different way of writing code. Today you at least need to understand best practices to help steer towards a good architecture. In the near future there will be no developers needed at all for the majority of apps.

Software CEOs think about this and rub their hands together thinking about all the labor costs they will save creating apps, without thinking one step further and realizing that once you don't need developers to build the majority of apps your would-be customers also don't need the majority of apps at all.

They can have an LLM build their own customized app (if they need to do something repeatedly, or just have the LLM one-off everything if not).

Or use the free app that someone else built with an LLM as most app categories race to the moatless bottom.

That just means the majority of apps don’t actually serve much of a purpose

Becoming a moron is a different way of writing code?

You may be right, but for a different reason: the majority apps on Apple and Google appstores will be 100% AI generated crapware.

Incidentally how I feel about React regardless of LLMs. Putting Claude on top is just one more incomprehensible abstraction.
