There is still a lot of work do be done surrounding the systems AI integrates for us, and as a sibling comment mentioned, AI's ability to use various abstractions is incredibly beneficial, as it results in fewer tokens (not reinventing the wheel) and can provide more consistent/predictable polished results. If you're building something trivial like a basic web page or a very simple one-off script, sure, abstractions would be overkill. But if you're building something that needs to scale and interface with many other systems and work perfectly on every available platform, we still need abstractions that AI can work with. I don't think we've seen the end of the library/framework churn from the last few decades before AI, but I do think we will eventually settle on an "optimal approach" where the average developer no longer has to consider tool A versus tool B for basically every common use case. Future libraries and frameworks will be designed specifically for AI to "understand". Most LLM training data is based on the old way of building software, and while it is pretty good at it, I think we'll see major improvements (and counterintuitively, less AI slop) as the underlying abstractions and AI models adapt to the new paradigms and workflows enabled by AI.
