🔬 New AI Craft
1. Is AI causing a repeat of frontend's lost decade?
A deep-dive analysis argues that AI-generated frontend code is creating hard-to-maintain "black box" components, reminiscent of the jQuery-era tech debt. Unlike the Agent Plan pattern you use (which focuses on requirement decomposition), this piece highlights that post-generation quality control—review, validation, refactoring—is the missing piece in agentic coding pipelines. Rapid generation without verification leads to codebase rot.

2. CAPTCHAs can still detect AI agents effectively
Empirical research shows that even with multimodal models, AI agents remain distinguishable from humans on CAPTCHA challenges. This has practical implications for agentic coding pipelines—automated web interactions may get blocked, requiring human fallback mechanisms built into the pipeline.
