What's weird is that AI is supposed to make development easy enough that native applications are just as fast to build than web apps
Somehow in this timeline AI can only be used to make things worse and sloppier

The inverse has been happening. AI seems to be best at JS and React, so many projects use this just to have the best results. I think this is the whole reason that Claude Code is actually React that's then mapped onto a terminal.
The engineers running the AI have to still be good.
AI code that isn't properly guided and controlled by an engineer is just as sloppy as the human behind it.
AI is an accelerate for programming, but some developers create horrible code before AI, snd AI won't change that. It just lets them do it faster.
I agree, but given the breadth of slop we are seeing now, I think it's safe to say the average AI-accelerated developer are bad coders.
That being said, no one ever looked at good code and said "that's AI gold," so opinions may be skewed.
Software used to be built for users, now it just has to look good as a screenshot.
The user is not the customer. Microsoft builds software for the enterprise now, so Windows 11 is full of new features for the enterprise and has nothing for the User.
They forgot that Enterprises are made out of Users.

Think one step ahead. They will want you to pay them for some LLM "agent" to use the GUI instead. It's not important that GUI is human usable anymore, actually the opposite.
It’s also weird that the productivity increases of AI lead to layoffs instead of hiring. If we can do more with AI why are companies scrambling to maintain the current output? Does leadership lack the vision of what to do with the additional productivity?
