It's about a month before I present a new talk, which means that imposter syndrom is now in full force. I know it's going to be fine but I hate that feeling.
I'm trying to audit a website but all I can do is stare at fucking loading spinner because there's something wrong with the JavaScript.
Using client-site rendering for a regular non-application like website is a sign of incompetence because you don't know what's best for your users.
Working with different teams as an external consultant I learned that many devs don't deal too much with native HTML, CSS, or JS. Building websites for them means using a framework, component library, or Tailwind. I knew that, but I was surprised how disconnected they were from the standards world. It's almost as if web development means something completely different to them. My suggestions mostly involved solutions in vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS, but I feel like often these weren't useful. 1/2
Stack overflow is almost dead
“as soon as ChatGPT came out, the number of questions asked declined rapidly. ChatGPT is faster and it’s trained on StackOverflow data, so the quality of answers is similar. Plus, ChatGPT is polite and answers all questions, in contrast to StackOverflow moderators.” lol
