With each passing day, I become more and more convinced that everything comes down to randomness.

Of course

If you figure it out, please let me know 🥲

I wouldn't say frontend developers are less technical, though. There's plenty of serious engineering happening in frontend too. It's just easier to show the visual result 🤷‍♂️

Give it time. I think we're getting there 😕

Eat, sleep, repeat 😂

You know what's underrated? Having absolutely nothing interesting to tell anyone about your day. Sometimes that's a sign things are going pretty well.

Imagine having years of production experience and your portfolio is basically "trust me" because of NDA 😂

That's the problem though. If reference projects are cheap to generate with AI, I'm not sure they tell us much about the developer anymore 😅

Yeah, nobody gets excited about a well-designed transaction boundary 😅

Frontend developers can impress you with a beautiful website. Backend developers can impress you with... a REST API returning JSON? 😅 A GitHub profile full of repositories doesn't really tell you much about someone's ability to design and maintain production systems. Seriously though, what makes a backend portfolio worth looking at?

I thought being agile meant adapting to change, not creating it ourselves 😂

Internet has made it weirdly difficult to enjoy something without immediately checking what everyone else thinks about it.

Right now it feels like we're mostly trying to fit AI into the development process we already have, rather than rethinking the process itself. I'm curious what you think software development itself should look like in five years 😏

I did 🤷

Good morning to everyone who's already changed their plans for today at least twice. It's not even lunchtime yet 😄

No, I have real life

When Mars?
