How do you convince "AI-era" devs that fundamentals of frontend development still matter?
I’m managing a few new junior hires, and they are completely addicted to "vibe coding" with v0, Bolt, and Lovable. They can prompt a beautiful Next.js frontend in minutes, but as soon as something breaks in the logic or they need a custom integration, they’re lost.
They don't want to learn the "heavy" stuff (like deep .NET or complex React state) because they think AI will always have the answer.
