I detest writing CSS and HTML. I just find it boring fiddly and annoying. I have started doing "vibe" coding with LLM's. Giving a decent prompt produces results that are... pretty good.
Almost 100% in lighthouse for both mobile and desktop, responsive, reusable components, dark/light mode and a design that was better than I could do in the 2-3 hours I spent doing it (while sipping wine).
I know its not a solution for everyone, and probably won't work for the prettier designs out there, but you can go a long way with these tools this day.
I know there is a reluctance to not use LLM's for code tasks, and I am one of the largest critics, but for me this solves a real pain point. I don't want to write CSS/HTML anymore and these tools do a good enough job of it that I don't have to.
I agree. CASS (the library this book was promoting) is actually really great paired with LLMs. If I revisit this project, it'll be along the lines of using it with LLMs.

LLMs are great for building frontends for backend projects and backends for frontend projects
For CRUD I agree. A lot of what I am doing is a bit more complex then that.
I actually would be happy to just "vibe" code my way through most of the problems I deal with if LLM's were able to do it.
That said, they make a great intern or jnr developer you can hand tasks off. You have to review either way, but the LLM does it faster.
