I'm not sure if there's a place for auto admin panels (active_admin in Ruby or kaffy in Elixir or the OG Django Admin) anymore given that LLMs can *easily* generate kick-ass and fully dedicated admin panels in minutes 🤔

I've built two pretty advanced admin panels for my Phoenix apps (so, still kinda niche tech stack) with little to no effort. Apart from regular CRUD stuff, I've got advanced features like syncing data with Stripe, or lately I built a mailing list sync with MailerLite in like 2 hours.

Given this experience I really don't see why I would need a solution like Kaffy (I used it initially in @justcrosspost and then rebuilt the whole admin panel in literally less than an hour with much better end result).

What are your thoughts on this topic? 👍🏻 or 👎🏻?

Yesterday I had to put together a quick demo website, and I got a little stuck trying to think of what framework to use. Normally I'd go for Next.js, but it seemed overkill, and also requires extra work to work well with web components, which I was going to use.

I thought about eleventy, but got hung up on what language to use, and how to set up the templates.

So I said screw it and just didn't use a framework. It was so freeing. I got the work done super fast.

Right now, I'm going to focus more on A.I.

I think I need to keep repeating that I don't actually believe the hype around it.

Buuuuuttttt to totally ignore it as a software developer is potentially hazardous to my career. Which... kinda sucks.
