- Shift in software development from coding to architecture with AI handling implementation.
- The real value lies in architecture: structure, naming, and assembling, not just coding.
- AI allows developers to focus on high-level design and problem-solving.
- Example project: MCP-Pointer, an open-source MCP server for browser DOM elements.
- AI boosts productivity by handling tedious tasks, enabling focus on design and architecture.
- Real-world examples include leader/follower election systems and multi-package tooling.
- Struggles with AI can reveal abstraction problems, leading to cleaner, more maintainable code.
- The future of web development is about architects and thinkers, not just coders.
- Emphasizes the importance of communication, words, and high-level abstractions in development.
