The End of an Era
In a shocking development that surprised absolutely no one who's been paying attention, artificial intelligence has officially announced its plan to take over all front-end development jobs by Labour Day 2026.

The announcement has sent shockwaves through the developer community, with many front-end developers already updating their LinkedIn profiles to include buzzwords like "AI prompt engineer," "full-stack developer," and "looking for opportunities."
