Frontend

In an era where everyone and their mother can generate and deploy the same generic-looking React / Tailwind / shadcn/ui slop to Vercel at the press of a button, your moat as a frontend developer remains the following:

• mastering the underlying web standards
• understanding tradeoffs and hard limits of existing frameworks/libraries/abstractions
• knowing how to cut bloat and replace building blocks with leaner, more flexible, or more maintainable alternatives
• leveraging lesser-explored platform features to create delightful, net-new experiences on the web

fwiw I think the bigger thing is figuring out exactly what you need in the simplest format possible than making it look better after you have validated it

don't take my casts seriously please (most of them at least)

fair fair

also can't get over how the shadcn avatar looks like morty from rick and morty hahahah

Great for quick prototypes and finding PMF for sure. In this case I’m not bought into the stack and I know there are hard limits as to how much I can customize it so I personally wouldn’t count on it for anything I’d want to maintain myself for the long haul.
