AI tools are fundamentally changing web development in concerning ways. While they help senior developers code faster, they're causing significant problems: Tailwind CSS saw 75% staff cuts despite 28 million weekly downloads because AI tools bypass their documentation site. LLMs predominantly generate React/TypeScript/Tailwind code, reducing ecosystem diversity and creativity. Beginners learning primarily through AI may adopt poor coding practices that slip into production. The sustainability of open-source projects is threatened as large companies benefit without supporting maintainers, potentially leading to abandoned frameworks that AI models depend on.
