    That is WILD lol. No, after that, I did a bunch of backend server apps for a few years mostly in C#, and then I got put onto some web app stuff after that. For better or worse. I do enjoy it and appreciate the abstraction, and I have found that I do love frontend dev a lot, but I do sometimes miss the lower level languages haha.

      I talked to a frontender recently who said they had less pleasure writing frontend, because AI could make it look as good as they wanted in a fraction of the time. Has AI changed anything for you?

      I was “encouraged” to use AI at work for frontend and while it output functional stuff, lifting the hood on the how, terrified me. 😅

        Yeah, in my experience, it’s very hit or miss with frontend code architecture (I primarily work with React). And I am very particular about keeping code clean and maintainable, so that can be a challenge sometimes for sure. It’s not bad for smaller one-off tasks, but I still do a majority of my larger tasks by hand because I typically already know what I need and how to do it correctly.
