3 AM thought:
My life changed the moment product managers discovered AI.
Now every week I get: “Hey, we built this MVP in a day.”
Then I open the codebase and discover:
<ul>
<li>17 duplicated components</li>
<li>state living in 9 different places</li>
<li>inline business logic</li>
<li>random APIs everywhere</li>
<li>no architecture</li>
<li>no security</li>
<li>no performance optimization</li>
</ul>
Just AI-generated spaghetti held together with Vibe.
People think frontend is just: HTML + CSS + JS + “make button pretty.”
Meanwhile frontend engineers are dealing with:
performance, auth, state management, testing, monitoring, deployment, accessibility, caching, architecture, security, CI/CD and production nightmares.

A frontend engineer's frustration with AI-generated MVPs that ignore real-world complexity. Product managers now expect full features built in a day, but the resulting codebases are riddled with duplicated components, scattered state, inline business logic, and zero architecture or security. The post argues that frontend engineering encompasses far more than HTML/CSS/JS — including performance, auth, testing, monitoring, accessibility, caching, CI/CD, and production concerns.

Frontend Is Not That Simple

I would say the generated code is the easy part. The cost appears later, when someone has to decide where state lives, where the trust boundaries are, how the thing behaves in production, and all those things.
