AI overview

On October 26, 2026, Shao Meng put forward the judgment that in the era of Claude Code/Codex, experienced engineers who can discover and drive the resolution of engineering problems remain important, and will become increasingly important. Taking Lovart as an example, he pointed out that in the PGC+UGC community, cover images uploaded by users range from small images of a few KB to ultra-high-definition large images of tens of MB, and non-R&D personnel often do not proactively pay attention to performance; while the Skills of Claude Code/Codex focus more on code architecture performance and do not cover image and video resource issues. Therefore, he believes that in the era of AI programming, senior engineers who can discover and advance performance issues across teams will only become more important. At present, this judgment was put forward by Shao Meng himself, and there are no other development facts yet.

    Shao Meng: The Claude Code era still needs senior front-end engineers

    Citing Lovart as an example, Shao Meng pointed out that in PGC+UGC communities, covers uploaded by users range from small images of a few KB to ultra-high-definition large images of tens of MB, and non-developers often do not proactively pay attention to performance. He believes that the Skills of Claude Code / Codex focus more on code architecture performance and do not cover image and video resource issues, so senior engineers who can identify and drive performance issues across teams will only become more important in the AI programming era.
