Is AI causing a repeat of Front end's Lost Decade?

# Summary The article argues that AI is causing a "deskilling" of programming—similar to how JavaScript frameworks deskilled frontend development over the past decade by allowing generalist programmers to perform specialized work. This trend reduces barriers to entry but weakens workers' bargaining power and job security, while also resulting in lower-quality output. The author draws parallels to historical workforce disruptions, noting that skilled craftspeople grieve the loss of their expertise when market demand shifts toward cheaper, less specialized labor.
