People Blamed AI for These UI Bugs. I Started Wondering Why.

Short summary

Users blamed AI for broken UI bugs in Meituan's app, reflecting a cultural shift where people now assume AI-generated code rather than human error when interfaces fail. The author argues that AI tools like Meituan's NoCode reduce the friction of execution but do not improve judgment, testing, or product understanding. The real bottleneck is shifting from building software to knowing what the software should do, making cross-functional product thinking more valuable than pure coding skill.

• •Users now default to blaming AI for UI bugs, signaling a shift in perception of how software is built
• •AI lowers execution friction but doesn't improve review, testing, or product judgment
• •The valuable skill is shifting from coding to understanding what the product should do and recognizing when generated solutions fail
