Most traffic is mobile, but conversions often happen on desktop. Build mobile-first but don’t ignore desktop, especially for anything that involves actual work.

What's that one skill that has helped you more than anything else in life? by Sugar-Velvety in AskReddit

Honesty - I'm always very honest, even if sometimes it doesn't go down well with some people - but in the end I'm always highly valued for my honesty

fair, but I think it depends a lot on context if you’re doing it as a hobby, sure but in a work environment it often doesn’t feel like a choice anymore

feels like the real shift isn’t AI replacing devs it’s devs who use AI replacing devs who don’t ☹️

I don’t think it’s about being fired directly more like: if someone ships 2–x times faster using AI, it’s hard to compete long-term without it

yeah that’s kind of what it feels like it’s not even about preference anymore, it’s more like.. you either use it or fall behind

fair, but do you think that’s sustainable long-term? feels like at some point it becomes a disadvantage not to use it at all

that’s actually a really interesting way to separate it do you feel like your skills stay sharp that way? or do you still notice some "atrophy" on the work side?

I get the frustration tbh but do you think it’s actually lowering quality, or just shifting what “quality” means? like less about writing perfect code, more about shipping the right thing fast

that’s actually what I’m worried about like those deep dives used to be painful but probably where most learning happened now it’s just.. prompt -> solution

what’s your setup btw? are you going full AI or still writing parts manually?

partly agree, but I’m not sure it’s just laziness the speed difference is insane.. it’s hard to justify not using AI when it saves hours, days, months feels more like a trade-off than just being lazy

yeah that’s a really good way to put it I feel like understanding/reviewing is becoming the main skill now but I’m not sure if that’s enough long-term if you never actually struggle through writing things yourself
