THE "AI WILL REPLACE PROGRAMMERS" MISCONCEPTION.

PROGRAMMING WITH AI IN 2025 (and beyond):

AI is a new technology therefore misconceptions should and must arise due to its human-like ability to interpret data and process it just like a human does.
As a frontend-developer myself I would say AI is rather a Tool Not a replacement due to its inability to do complex tasks such as making complex animations and building fully-fledged applications, it requires directives rather since it can't really handle tasks by itself,

Complexity and Customization:

While AI tools can handle standard, boilerplate tasks (like building a simple website), complexity is where front-end developers will still be needed. For example, building custom animations, working with unique designs, or integrating advanced functionality requires deep knowledge and creative input.
Websites are also evolving to be more dynamic and feature-rich, so developers will still be needed to customize and tailor the experience to meet client or user-specific needs.

Final Verdict

Yes, AI will change how front-end development works, but human developers are still essential. The role of a frontend developer in 2025 will likely involve collaborating with AI tools, using them to speed up and improve work, while still bringing creativity, empathy, and expertise in design and user experience to the table
