Beck @beckkramer.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I've hit a point in my job search where I'm lucky if I find one frontend position a day that doesn't have an AI-native/AI-first development expectation, or isn't working on an AI product. This field just seems less and less like there's a place for me in it. 000
