The lack of interoperability is what's stifling innovation. Imagine if everything was compatible without the being in walled gardens

It feels like the Web/Software development industry is in a deeply fractured split personality phase where there is one side that believes AI is everything and others that are in complete denial. I'm just waiting for a Project Mayhem to kick off

It's funny how "burnout" can hit the hardest during times when I'm not actually working. Too much down time to look around and see all the chaos of the current times

Had I known I would bust my ass working to develop the skills for almost 2 decades that would be rendered useless by AI, I think I might have chosen welding over UI design and development. I think that's wild

I know I talk about the struggles of getting a frontend job these days, but I have to mention, I used to stress about the leetcode tests (not being a traditional CS grad), now I stress about making it to the leetcode tests 😬

I've been straddling design and development my entire career, and I feel it's the secret sauce to what makes great digital products and experiences. It's also been my observation that most organizations get in their own way and can't seem to accommodate this type of fluidity

It's great that I'm getting so much experience with @nextjs.org and @tailwindcss.com. I feel like I'm bound to land that unicorn web developer / frontend software engineer role of my dreams.
