I finished my first paid contract as a developer! Static React site for a restaurant, using Next and Tailwind. It was fun and satisfying! Some of the CSS was obnoxious, but in the scheme of things I feel good about this project and being solid in my skills #achievementunlocked

I've only been coding for 21 months and already I'm tired of the Front End vs Back end attitude. Tired of the one side is better, tired of the choosing one, tired of the lack of recognition of interdependence. Just... can we just work together to create cool shit?
