Kotlin isn't high level programming; it's highest level programming. Jeez. Kotlin makes Swift look like machine code.

To be good at frontend, the ingredients are the same as for any essentially creative medium:

• find the kind of UI that brings you joy to make
• make it, even if it's bad (but just for you)
• discern teachers from bootcamp...er...grifters
• practice
• focus on users
• re-learn the new new in light of what you just learned
• GOTO "practice"

- Were you unfairly shitty to me and mine? Blocked
- Fairly shitty? Follow, want.
- Rote defense of power, privilege, or caste? Muted
- Fascist? Fascist-adjacent? Fascism curious? Blocked.
- Not previously excluded & focused on how we make tech better for users? FOLLOW

Yet another team at work staring down months of remediation thanks to "modern frontend" has caused me to write down why I've been *intensely* frustrated with the clearly broken market for web technology over our long lost decade:

Thanks to @brucelawson, @heydon, Taylor Hunt, @andy, and @phae for spotting errors in (even more splenetic) drafts.
