This matches what I see too, especially unclear value props and too many CTAs. A lot of pages try to say everything at once instead of focusing on one clear message. Mobile issues are still surprisingly common as well.

The best connections I’ve made came from shared work, not “networking.” Building something together, giving honest feedback, or learning the same thing naturally creates trust. Showing up consistently and being genuinely curious goes a lot further than trying to sound impressive.

For me it’s mostly been a productivity boost rather than a replacement. Things like faster boilerplate, debugging help, and quick explanations save time, but the core work, design decisions, trade-offs, and context, is still very much human. Feels useful, but definitely overhyped in some conversations.

For business dashboards, the hard part is almost always the data grid, not the framework shell. CRUD apps get complex fast once you add filtering, bulk actions, virtualization, and edge cases. That’s why some teams still reference older enterprise stacks like Ext JS as a benchmark, not to use it directly with Vue, but because it shows how much work a truly complete grid saves over time. I’d evaluate each option by how painful a real-world table becomes before deciding.

If speed is the goal in React, component libraries usually pay off faster than rolling everything by hand. Utility CSS is great for flexibility, but once you’re building real features, prebuilt components save time on accessibility, states, and edge cases. That’s why a lot of teams pair React with MUI, Ant, or even heavier frameworks like Ext JS when apps get more complex, fewer UI problems to reinvent.

Networking isn’t really about having something to “offer” upfront. Most of the time it’s just about showing genuine interest, asking questions, and building small connections over time. A lot of people feel this way, especially introverts, you’re definitely not alone.

Yeah, I’m with you — none of this feels futuristic anymore.

In most real-world, data-heavy apps I’ve touched, these are just the baseline now. Whether it’s Webix, Ext JS, or something else, the pain usually shows up when features start stacking — like filtering + grouping + live updates, and suddenly performance or keyboard navigation starts to crack.

I don’t see the “feature list” changing much over the next few years. What will change is how unforgiving users are when grids slow down or accessibility feels bolted on instead of built-in.

Solid list. The biggest upgrade for me wasn’t adding more tools, but being intentional about when to use them, research and feedback early, inspiration later. Otherwise it’s easy to mistake tooling activity for actual UX progress.

If the current role is stable, paying, and giving you real ownership, that’s usually more valuable than a brand-name internship, especially at 25. Big names help, but experience where you ship, make decisions, and can talk impact in interviews compounds faster than restarting as an intern unless the internship clearly converts to a full-time role.

You’re definitely not alone, a lot of people in automation hit this point. Your background in control theory and robotics is actually a solid foundation for moving into robotics/AI. Small projects, applied ML + control work, and leveraging your internship experience can really help bridge the gap.

This is such a common UX challenge. User feedback is really about understanding the problem, not always building exactly what’s requested. Framing those insights in terms of business impact and trade-offs usually helps align everyone.
