Dave & Chris and thoughts on career advice that worked 3 years ago but isn't as helpful now, marking tests with ChatGPT, is taking a Drupal job in 2024 a good idea, Chris got #gear sniped, P3 color follow up, the confusing File System APIs, and where did all the lightboxes go?
Dave's about to be eclipsed, the state of TypeScript in 2024, signals stage zero proposal, corrections on accessibility in frameworks (thanks!), web apps for better collaborative writing, getting productivity sniped, the problem with email may be you, indieweb follow up, and ultimate guitar tab apps.
What is a home cooked app? Blake Watson is on this episode to talk all about the kinds of apps that make a good home cooked app, tips and advice he has for making them, resisting the urge to monetize or growth hack them, and a few CodePen v2 thoughts sprinkled in at the end.
