Alternatively, ITT: people who have been through the design-to-dev handoff process and understand the comparative advantages of both teams.

Tools like this can be good for indie developers, the ones who in the past may have had to learn a bit of dev/design to release something. The division of labour is larger teams is different. The product manager may have a user research background instead of a software one. The designer may be good with semi-complete prototypes in Framer, but the responsibility for delivering production code may still rest with the dev team.

I am still erring on the side of skepticism around AI "taking all jobs with computers" but have to admit that seeing the progress has made me doubt my position a bit. Even if it doesn't take ALL jobs and only relatively low level ones that is still an enormous amount of work that will at the very least change drastically.

What really shook me is that GPT-4 can spit out quite solid code for various things. I know there is a lot more to software development than just writing code but if you had asked me 3 years ago if AI would be able to code AT ALL within 10 years I would have said "no chance" with 100% certainty. Had to accept I was very wrong about that and don't have the technical background to really assess how far/fast this stuff can go.
