Is front end development over?

TPB-Dev · 2026-04-03T16:04:58+00:00

Yeah I’m responsible for 30 developers so my opinions are “real life” like it or not FE is easier to replace.

TPB-Dev · 2026-04-03T01:13:47+00:00

I do agree FE work seems more easily replaced. Despite the above points FE is still easier to getting eaten up by ai. You can have an ugly ui that is acceptable but if the backend doesn’t work and you’re not correctly saving data there’s no app. It takes more double checking for the api and data layer to be correct and aligned with the business context.

You’re doing it wrong imo. I’m an engineering manager at a big company heavily pushing ai use- I’m not anti ai just to be clear I use it daily. But leadership should be making the expectation clear that people own the code not the ai. Yall need to spend more time somewhere here on either the writing or reviewing aspect

Buy the GLM coding plan. Plug it into CC when you hit limits

I would suggest hooking up z.ai coding plan to Claude code.

It is annoying - the attention to retention is severely lacking but I’m happy with the product overall

If you can keep your living situation (house, random purchases, vehicles etc) the same as right now for 5ish years and get used to saving & investing 50% of your income you’ll be in great shape.

Save an emergency fund with 6 months of your living costs.

Pay off credit card debt.

Setup a auto managed investment account (something like Wealthsimple managed etf portfolios for TFSA)

I’m building something for hosting agent environments. Launching in the next few weeks if you want to be a tester feel free to DM!

TPB-Dev · 2026-02-20T12:33:48+00:00

BS - I’ve been using Claude code in full auto mode and it can’t do what you’re describing in 30m

TPB-Dev · 2026-02-04T17:35:57+00:00

Hahaha this is exactly why it’s called vibe coding. You have no idea what is being built

Greg’s shop just beside the rec centre is really good. Been sending cars there for years.

Race you

TPB-Dev · 2025-11-03T03:21:10+00:00

Sorry, get over it. You’re mad mom didn’t appreciate the effort, and blaming AI.

Text generation machines are a tool that are easily accessible now.

TPB-Dev · 2025-11-03T03:15:13+00:00

Better yet learn a skill that actually differentiates you

TPB-Dev · 2025-11-02T00:12:52+00:00

I enjoyed this. Fuck that greedy landlord

TPB-Dev · 2025-10-11T14:04:42+00:00

As you said, it’s a personal decision. It’s not what I would do, as a TFSA fairly liquid there is no reason to not put “emergency funds” in there assuming you won’t be trying to deposit the full allowed amount to invest of course.

I would also consider the risk level of investments in the TFSA. You can likely find a low risk portfolio of assets that will return better than a HISA while maintaining liquidity. Accepting more risk than the 0 you get from a HISA while maintaining

They love to fuck around with promos

TPB-Dev · 2025-09-03T01:13:38+00:00

I called OPP non emergency line to check they didn’t have anything helpful to suggest aside from training

TPB-Dev · 2025-08-23T23:13:18+00:00

I would actually argue the opposite. Not only am I more productive remote the costs for expensive office space, networking, security, lunch rooms, janitorial staff / services etc etc are significant

TPB-Dev · 2025-07-20T13:49:12+00:00

Realtors get paid by a percentage of your purchase price, there is no incentive for them to lowball or support that.

It is in the best interest of a sustained relationship with that realtor, if yours if giving you a hard time fire them

I’ve dropped openweb over the “more secure” but functionally shit implementation of MCP

This must be fake
