Hi thanks for your comment! happy to help you, you can reach me also on Linked in and we can chat there privately about your experience: www.linkedin.com/in/yanaha/ I am still figuring out content for my channels, advice for recent graduates is on my list. On a high level, we are all figuring out what the industry will become now with every newly introduced model. o1 preview is pretty amazing and can truly write end-to-end applications. However the fact of the matter is that third of the web is still running on jQuery. What that means is there there are a lot of legacy systems and systems that need to be maintained, upgraded and improved, rather than built from scratch. There is a still value in human front-end specialists that focus on system design and understand best practices, as well as can develop and upgrade/improvement plan for legacy systems. AI can help with that, but you have to have an opinion to make sure AI is guiding you in the right direction. My main advice would be - do what you are passionate about. I am passionate about design and user experience. 15 years ago that meant becoming a web developer. Today it might mean embracing AI while also having a deep understanding of what it means to write high quality maintainable and scalable front end. The future is in scalable system design in my mind.
