modern front end is still an absolute cluster. ask claude to use react on a greenfield project: brings in tanstack, mui, tailwind, shad something or nother, all kinds of stuff. Then when you run into an issue and ask AI to fix it, you watch AI argue with itself in real-time about potential bugs in browsers and in these libraries has opened my eyes to the absolute mess that is modern UI.

Yes that too but performing detailed planning is a minority viewpoint from what I've seen till now. Many Devs jump straight to code after briefly skimming the jira record.

Things are definitely getting more complicated over time if your eyes are open. Vibe coding the core systems that run our world will accelerate this.
