Is AI causing a repeat of frontend’s lost decade?

https://mastrojs.github.io/blog/2026-05-23-is-AI-causing-a-repeat-of-frontends-lost-decade/og.png
The introduction of AI and automation in programming is deskilling the profession, making it easier for businesses to hire generalists and reducing the bargaining power of workers, similar to how frameworks deskilled frontend development in the past. While AI can increase efficiency and productivity, it also risks producing lower quality work and requires developers to understand how to use ...
