💬 Here’s the deal: a frontend developer isn’t a mediocre coder that only dabbles in “easy” languages like HTML, CSS and JavaScript. A frontend developer is someone who made a conscious choice to build interfaces for the unknown with a laser sharp focus on the end user’s experience.

Another @code keyboard shortcut I'd loved to have known earlier.
