In the limited time spent with AI coding agents so far I would agree with this. I’ve got the most accurate and largest change sets into codebases that share both front end and backend. In my cases using SSR with Spring Boot and thymeleaf or j2html
I believe that with AI agents, separated frontend and backend development is slowly coming to an end.
One language, one model, one flow. Less coordination, less friction, more focus on business logic.
AI does not just change how we write code. It changes how we should structure our systems.

Thanks again @vaughnvernon.bsky.social for the clear explanations in your video. Very helpful. I certainly think that the “tell-don’t-ask” approach is not consistently implemented well in the wild at various code/service levels.
