> There is also a limit to what you can do in a browser.

While there are limits, the web and browsers are the most exciting they've ever been in my ~15 years of breaking things on the internet.

There are so many cool things being built right now. If you've got a varied enough skill set and an appetite for learning, now is an incredible time to be a senior full stack/front end engineer.

I personally disagree. I find the internet and web browser to be the least interesting portion of the computing stack - I get my kicks doing graphics programming and systems programming. The browser and web are the last technologies I want to write code for in my personal time. This is why computing and programming a great though, no matter what your interests are, you can probably find some niche or specialization that suits your personal interests and strengths.

Certainly if your interests lie elsewhere, there’s not much the web can do about that. I’m more so speaking from the perspective of working on it for over a decade and still wanting to. From my perspective, it feels like things are actually in a better place all the time.

I do like the odd break from the chaos of the browser, I can’t deny that. I totally get why some people can’t stand dealing with it.

I've been working on it professionally for over two and I still abhor it. I think it's much worse than it's ever been.

Haha, I’m a glutton for punishment. The worse it gets the more I want it.
