My wife just turned to me and said, "Why do you need AI when you have me?"

That’s fair!

I’ve noticed a significant increase in quality over the past year. However, I haven't seen models improve in their understanding of how to build software that, as I mentioned in the article, brings you joy. Maybe one day! But hopefully not. :)

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

The value we bring as frontend engineers may be changing.

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!

I tried these recently! I’m generally a fan of various DP flavors, but the new blackberry variation is not a favorite…

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 😬

It really does make a huge difference. I wish I invested in better equipment years ago.
