Thank you for writing this. It resonates quite deeply with me.
I’ve found that much of my job now is spent playing defense for the architecture I’ve spent my career learning how to perfect. I’ve got beautiful structures, generic abstractions, and intentional design decisions being bombarded by LLM-generated code prompted by those who do not understand the need for any of it.
I often find myself questioning whether I should shrug my shoulders and leave it all behind, as the damage done to this career seems so pervasive it feels like a fool’s errand to continue.
But I persist and like you continue to try to find the intersection between beauty and functionality.

This hits SO hard! Where are you spending your time improving your animation skills?
I've been experimenting with Framer Motion for now. It has quite a good API and you can make very smooth transitions with it.

Totally relate to this conundrum. :)
