hello :)
Saw this when my team was interviewing for an entry level dev position. One of the tech questions we had was debugging a broken form, and it was very surprising to see a lot of applicants didn't know where to start.
Instead of using it as a reference, they are using it for everything. They make a project on it. You ask them Why they decided to make a programming decision and they don't know.

Something is broke in their project and you ask to see how they debug it, They don't know.

I think it's kind of wild you have to jump through hoops to delete your SendGrid account.

That feeling when your team discovers a big bug and you fix it on the spot.

I can't imagine using just plain JavaScript.
Typescript is the best thing that has happened to frontend development in recent years. All of the frontend developers should start using it now, if you aren't already using it.

Redid my personal website not too long using Next 15, MDX, and Tailwind CSS. Kind of want to rebuild it again using a different framework like Vue or Astro.
