I’m a UX designer not a coder, but this is so bizarre to me because shouldn’t every project be doing something novel? Otherwise why does it exist? If this industry is so full of people independently writing the same stuff that AI can replicate it…then it was a vast misallocation of resources to begin with.
Sometimes the novelty lives in a different part of the problem. (e.g. a service that does basic bog standard web forms, but for some novel purpose)
