It's unlikely we will leapfrog from human-written code to relying on black-box generated code in one step. Everyone's been pointing to AI being used to augment existing jobs, as opposed to outright replacement.

In order to augment a front-end developer well, we'll need human-readable code, unless we like reading uglified code/make an AI for that too.

We did with compilers, isn't this analogous?

I think you are spot on in the leapfrog. It will be augmented for a time but then it will be much tinier of a time its augmented to when its just full AI.
