You know you are a #frontend #developer when you have way too many #browsers (all with different themes you can you tell what is what) just so you test things from multiple accounts simulatneously...
Anyone found a better soution to this little game?

If you are a UI library, please don't give me a custom tag that implements a less featured version of an existing html element, where I now need to learn your custom syntax and figure out what the accessibility implications are going to be.

HTML works great, please make use of it and stop reinventing the wheel.

Today I used one social media app to talk about another social media app to a friend because the third social media app we previously used is broken... 🤪 🙄 🤮

I say we go back to carrier pigeons

(The irony that I am posting this on a fourth is not lost on me)
