Client-side frontend code should not be the exclusive domain of frontend developers because modern tooling, AI, and other platforms make it possible for designers, product, and marketing teams to safely own, iterate, and ship UI without touching backend logic or risking core stability. Frontend engineers can then specialize in the architecture, contracts, and business logic that matter most, while non-dev stakeholders directly shape the experience layer where they have the deepest expertise.

Q4 2025. A designer asked a question that crystallized everything we'd been building toward: "Why do I need a developer to deploy the component I just generated with AI?"

She had used Claude to generate a promotional banner. The HTML, CSS, and JavaScript were ready. It looked exactly right. But getting it from her screen to production still required a developer to review it, integrate it, test it, and deploy it. "The AI wrote the code in five minutes," she said. "Why does deployment take five days?"

That question launched Myop Version 2.0.

TL;DR: We wanted a new look and feel for our Component Dashboard. So, instead of tons of PRs getting rejected, we let our UI Design and Product team build it for us with AI in an isolated Myop component. As devs, we made sure the props and architecture for data flow was pristine and just handed them the reins to build the component itself.

In my previous blog post on this topic, I wrote in short about this. In short, constant UI change requests disrupt front-end developers' focus and slow overall progress.
