In my latest issue, I go over how to fight back.

What's left unsaid when tech leadership says that we need to reskill the workforce, is that is that I like what I do. I chose it for a reason.
And I do not want to use AI to do my job for me, because doing my job is what I love about what I do.

Phoenix 1.18 is going to ship with support for https://daisyui.com. I wonder if upgrading might be a good opportunity for Keila to switch to daisyUI as well. Spruce up the UI a bit, simplify the markup, and finally add support for light mode.
Do any of you have thoughts on daisyUI?
I've talked to yet another real estate agent today. It's clear based on the conversations I've had so far that I will need to get back into tech.
I was hoping that I could tough it out until my greeting card design work was sustainable, but I don't think that's going to work. Particularly not as we're heading into a recession.
I'll have to find a #uxdesign job. Somehow.
