Aside from the obvious "AI can't see" criticism, AI sucks at frontend because frontend sucks. Why does frontend suck? Churn.

To quote the article:

1. "It trained on ancient garbage" which is the by product of massive churn and this attitude leads to even more churn

2. "It doesn't know WHY we do things" because we don't either... even the paradigms used in frontend dev have needlessly churned

My fix? I switched from React/Next to Vue/Nuxt. The React ecosystem is by far the worst offender.
