The value we bring as frontend engineers may be changing.

In an era where AI agents can write software much faster than we can, the quality that may ultimately distinguish us isn't our technical skill, but our creative taste.

That’s a wrap on @github.com Universe! Had an absolute blast learning about new AI tools, and seeing some great friends.

After reading a talk on my friend @braydoncoyer.dev's website (which is amazing and you should totally check it out) I was inspired to try a PKM! Recs welcome.

I tend to be an analog note person myself, but I think that this will be helpful as I drink from the hose of learning during my job hunt!

One of the best end-of-day practices I've adopted recently is leaving myself a note for the next morning.

It can include:
- what I was working on when I logged off
- my thoughts on how I want to continue
- any blockers I need to address in the morning

Highly recommended

Published this article a week ago and it’s been visited just over 1000 times.

Not bad for not publishing in a year and a half!

Been working from this new desk from Autonomous AI for about a month and had to share - my arm pain is completely gone.

Switched from a basic IKEA tabletop and the difference is wild. Those sharp corners were killing me slowly 😬
