I agree that CORS is hard to understand and fix. I was the CTO at an auth company and SO many of our users used to run into various CORS issues and asked questions on our support. However, I'd now argue that developers don't need to understand CORS anymore.. cause claude / gpt does! Just throw in the error in claude code / codex and it would fix it.
The second part of this comment is not what I expected. I also don’t think it is true. I got bit by a CORS error at work recently that passed by Claude, copilot, and another senior engineer.

damn where are we heading?
It's astounding how willingly people give up their agency. Dystopic sci-fi novels turn out to be bogus, because nobody will rebel against the machines if it prints funny progress indicator words to the terminal
I am actually starting to believe that those stories where everything was offloaded to AI will come true. And not enough people will actually care even when pointed out... They haven't done much wrong this far...
