It's a ... difficult ... time for developers. Everything's changing quickly. There are people spreading fear. There are people spreading hope. There are challenges and opportunities. Yeah ... it's a lot!
Angular 2 was released in 2016. I released my first major course on Udemy about Angular exactly 10 years ago. Time to look back AND ahead!
OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot, formerly Clawdbot) had some pretty "intense" days. There's been (and still is!) lots of hype around it.
Because it's the first (working) personal AI assistant. Still, I'm not really getting the hype...
Tailwind CSS is amazing library. It really is. I want it to succeed. But I'm not using for all my projects anymore.
Dario Amodei shared a quite ... ambitious ... timeline / expectation on when AI will be able to build software on its own. I'm not so sure about it...
You can read it everywhere on X - everbody's a software developer now. There's no future for SaaS companies. Is that true?
It's a new year - time for a new tech stack! Well, not really. But there ARE a couple of libraries and technologies I'm currently using about which I'm really quite excited!
TailwindCSS is in HUGE financial problems. The very thing that loves it (AI) may be the thing killing it. It's really a dire situation.
AI has a huge impact on ... everything? Definitely also on how we learn things. And IF we learn things at all.
And then there's the big question about WHAT to learn as a web dev in world where AI can already do so much!
2025 has been a year full of AI hype BUT also of real improvements of AI models and tools. And the job market, especially for junior devs, has been ... rough, to put it mildly.
How will things change in 2026?
