It's so weird how it looks like frontend is the first thing that CEOs are trying to automate away because in my experience, all frontier models are excellent at building infrastructure given a solid design, but absolutely NOTHING can get them to build out non-trivial user experiences correctly.

I've been working on inputs that are enhanced with WebGL flourishes for 2 days, given explicit implementation details, and it's been days of back and forth of the thing not working. "Oh, sorry, I see my mistake, this is definitely the fix" No, man, you have definitely not fixed anything.

The reason for this is because when working in services, the LLM can mock and test almost everything and assert things function before coming back to you. While they can instrument playwright for frontend code, there's still so much it has zero visibility into.
