   You know what we were also right about? People learning web development now are shuffled past learning how to actually build websites that humans can use and it's making all of our shit worse. We were right about that happening. Pat all of yourselves on the back.

     I want to write a blog post about "all the things we were right about in the front-end space but spent 10 years being gaslit about by assholes" but I legitimately hurt my back and even thinking about all this shit is making me tense up lol

     Throughout my career my experience of working with recent grads or junior developers went from people having a pretty good grip on how to build a web interface to people, hired for the same role as a front-end developer, having no idea how to format CSS properly or what HTML elements to use where. This is not a gross exaggeration. A lot of folks warned about this happening and it was all hand waved away as us not being able to let go or adapt.
