AI Assisted Web Development

AI assisted programming is becoming more and more frequent amongst developers. Its usage ranges from asking AI tools like Gemini and pasting answers into the IDE, to using AI as a glorified auto complete, to full on vibe coding, delegating most of the code written to AI agents. Models are getting more capable and, but still not perfect. Developers are still ultimately responsible for the code produced, and should review it before publishing to avoid nasty surprises like leaking API keys. But it’s amazing to see how models like Gemini 2.5 Pro are capable of building entire (even if reasonably simple) web applications from a one shot prompt, like this example where my prompt was Build a force directed graph demo.
