Is Frontend Still a Thing? A UI Reset in the Age of AI Disruption
summary
A photo-platform prototype—created with Lovable and turned into functioning code by Gemini-generated HTML/CSS—is copy/pasted into an open-source integration layer (Maya) and shipped live to hundreds of thousands of users, with iterative fixes pushed by the designer. Generic UI work takes the bulk of time, proprietary logic is 20–40% of effort, and the OEW (Onboarding / Exposure / Who) rule routes responsibilities; following it yields about 80% development time savings in reported cases.
