Our indy web agencies are struggling. I know first hand the incredible quality of Set Studio’s work and I’d urge anyone who needs a bit of website love (or indeed a new one) to hit them up.
Likewise, if you’ve got a bit of learning budget kicking about, get yourself a piccalilli course.

Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

Even if AI does take over the industry (it won’t), learning to program property will give you an immense advantage when it comes to understanding what AI produces and how to fix bugs and maintain projects
We've had a couple of people ask whether JavaScript for Everyone is even worth doing, now that generative AI is available.
We've got the perfect answer to that.
