Hey Devs, happy Friday 🦥💚

As always, it's been an eventful week in the tech industry. We've got a lot to talk about! And today I want to discuss whether or not web devs should think about diversifying their skill sets due to industry changes and advancements in AI.

I got this message in my inbox this week:

Is this the right time to start developing a skill outside of web development? It seems like AI will be taking over web dev jobs soon.

This question reminded me of a post I read a few weeks ago from @codepo8 about how hard it's been to find work as a fronted dev — not specifically related to AI, but it's a similar concern:

The ongoing defence of frontend as a full-time job
