So, when I asked what you had up your sleeve, 2022… Really!?!

Maybe I’ve been walking around in a stupor cause I’ve only recently come across terms like the “Great Acceleration” and “Overshoot”. Very sobering stuff.

Just when I thought (hoped!) we wouldn’t get any closer to a similar fate as the Dodo… Tudum!

Rebekah Baggs was asked; “What does the tech industry need more of? Less of?”
Her response:
Less artificial intelligence. More actual intelligence. Less moving fast and breaking things. More prioritizing the right things so you can get them done in a sustainable way.
I agree wholeheartedly.

Chris Coyier and Dave Rupert’s “A Definitely Real-Life Front-Interview Experience” is both brilliant and unfortunately really close to the mark. Eish! 😬

I prefer a vanilla approach and tend to steer clear of using JavaScript frameworks if I can help it. Not that I have anything against JavaScript frameworks. I think they can be wonderfully powerful tools if we first keep the user in mind rather than prioritising the developer experience. At the moment I don’t think we’re getting that balance quite right.
Saying that, I think frameworks like Svelte, Astro, (and possibly Vue.js), are helping redress this imbalance.

I see myself as a user-centric frontend developer and am particularly interested in projects focussed on building web interfaces that are as usable, accessible, performant, resilient and future-friendly as possible.
So when I mention this to someone recruiting for a role, I get… “Do you know React?”. 😶

Heading to the beautiful Lakedown Trout Fishery on Saturday for some fly fishing. Such a gorgeous spot away from all the noise.
