What kind of code does this developer write?
As little code as possible to get the job done without enormous dependencies. Avoiding js and using css and html as much as possible.
Sounds like the perfect frontend dev to me.
The designer, the customer, and US/EU accessibility laws heavily disagree.

In my experience, generally speaking there is a kind of this developer that tries to write a language they’re familiar with, but in Javascript. As the pithy saying goes, it takes a lot of skill to write Java in every language.
Usually they write only prompts and then accept whatever is generated, ignoring all typing and linting issues
Prompts? React and Angular came out over 10 years ago. The left pad incident happened in 2016.
Let me assure you, devs were skeptical about all this well before AI.
