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.

@@jonhobbssmith yeah i struggle with it as well… Tailwind is just such a sad reflection of today’s reality that people can’t write CSS anymore, and instead plop on 20 class names in their markup
@@techgirlinstyle , in my experience every person I've spoken to who loves Tailwind is somebody who thinks CSS is hard. The kind of person who does z-index:10000

Can you review Indie UI?
Yes I’ll add it to my list. What about it is specifically interesting to you?

@@jonhobbssmith 😭I love CSS, it is my first love even before i switch from UX design to Front End back in 2012
@@jonhobbssmith I use Tailwind not because CSS is difficult, but because it saves me a lot of time.
