I have always been the kind of developer who only cared about outcomes. Give me the tool, the framework, the head start. I just want my website. A totally different kind of developer exists who cares about the *craft*. Getting that function just right. Those devs are in pain right now.

I’m a Frontend Engineer for 12 years now, started freelancing full-time 2 years ago. How do you guys cope with the feeling that Frontend dev jobs will be gone soon? With Claude Code etc I get the feeling that clients or fellow programmers think that frontend is basically dead.

the reddit search is auto correcting my search... i cannot search for bluloco anymore, it reverts to blueloco. i need to go into the url and change it there. wtf.

i don't know if you are having the same experience but I became a programmer because I liked figuring stuff out. reading documentation and fiddling around was such an essential part of this. but now it feels kind of pointless. I have the constant feeling I could do more important things.

If you are looking for a React Native Dev with 10 years of frontend development experience, hit me up. I’m looking for a new freelance project.

Welcome to my travel journal. I’ve been doodling in this book everywhere but at home, and it’s so much fun to just do stuff without the pressure of an actual painting I want to sell.

I can't get excited about any project anymore. I will never be allowed to build anything interesting again. Only those tasks which the theft machine is not yet good at stealing will be allowed. It makes me feel sick just thinking about it.
