Remember learning React? Or Angular? Or spending weekends debugging dependency hell? Yeah, AI just made all of that optional. ๐ค
A growing wave of developers is skipping traditional frameworks entirely. Instead of importing massive libraries, they're having AI write exactly what they need โ custom, lightweight code that does the job without the bloat.
The shift is real:
- ๐ฆ No more npm install nightmares
- โก Faster load times (no framework overhead)
- ๐ฏ Code does exactly what you want, nothing extra
- ๐ง AI handles the boilerplate so you focus on logic
One developer put it simply: 'I used to spend hours configuring Webpack. Now Claude just writes the build script in 30 seconds.'
This doesn't mean frameworks are dead โ they're still great for teams and large projects. But for side projects, MVPs, and personal apps? AI-generated vanilla code is becoming the new default.
The catch: You need to know what good code looks like. AI can write garbage that technically works but scales horribly. The skill shift isn't from coding to prompting โ it's from writing syntax to architecting systems.
Gen Z developers entering the workforce now might never build the same deep framework expertise as millennials. Instead, they'll be AI whisperers โ directing intelligence to build exactly what's needed.
Do you still use frameworks, or has AI changed how you code?
