    t: The yearly survey about how web developers use AI

  - key: general.state_of_ai.intro
    t: |
      If social media is to be believed, the AI revolution has already overtaken web development, with many of us generating entire working apps before breakfast and making millions in the process. 

      But is this really what's going on? Or is AI another passing fad that will not fundamentally change things? Or maybe something in between?

      Help us figure this out by taking the yearly State of Web Dev AI surve, and let’s explore how AI is shaping the future of web development together!
