I wanted to write about this for a long time, but @adactio.com did it first and definitely better. Web frameworks should be invisible to the user, they serve us developers. Users don't care, and shouldn't pay the price neither.

AI won't replace you. An executive who doesn't understand AI or your job will.

I'm going insane because people constantly recommend using AI for things and it is always, ALWAYS worse than repeatedly bashing my head on a brick. It's like you have an actual problem & all anyone recommends is "have you tried talking to my cousin? He drinks bleach & doesn't wash his pants"

adactio.com/journal/22235 ☝️ wise words in this link

“When you use a JavaScript framework, that isn’t the end of your work, it’s just the beginning. You still have to write your own code that makes use of that framework. Except now your code is restricted to only what the framework can do.” I’d even drop “JavaScript” from that sentence 😉
