This was right after OpenAI showcased how GPT4 could turn a hand-drawn sketch of a website into real HTML/CSS/JS. The consensus online was that FE jobs would stop existing within 1-2 years.

A cool thing I made on #CodePen: interactive demo illustrating how to use #SVG `feColorMatrix` to swap 2 channels of its input.
codepen.io/thebabydino/...
Viewport adaptive. Heavily commented code if you want to check how the demo works in the back. Makes use of modern #CSS features.
Made with ❤️.

At the beginning of 2024 I had newborn twins and two-year-old twins, I developed arthritis, and I got laid off while on paternity leave.
Since then, Steve and I started a business and doubled our old salaries.
2024 was the hardest year of my life.

Created a new Vite + React Router project through its CLI, and my goodness, it generates a lot of files. 😅
I miss Create React App. Was such a nice idea to tuck the config inside react-scripts and only reveal it when users opt in. Perfect for teaching, and for quick prototypes.
