It's a great looking site. I'll keep it in mind once I use up more of the ink I already have!

Guildenstern: No, no, no — what you've been is not on boats.

I read this play for the first time last week and this exchange really stuck with me.

The brain perceives amber as a "bright" color that contrasts well with black, without the headaches that come from staring at white light for hours.

I agree so much with this. I used Replit extensively to prototype things in different languages and share my work with my teammates, who could then suggest tweaks to my ideas. We never came close to the limits of the free tier, but I paid for it anyway because I loved the product.

The magic is definitely gone.

I've been in the tech industry for 25 years and I've led remote teams since the early 2010s. Looking for a VP or Director of Engineering role where I can build out teams, help engineers level up, and build a great culture.

I'd take it back even further:

We started out on mainframes.

Then things moved to the desktop, with some centralized functionality on servers (shared drives, batch jobs).

The processing moved to centralized web servers via the web, SAAS, and the cloud.

Then more moved into the client through React & similar.

And now things are moving back to the server.

Tick. Tock.

These changes are not just arbitrary whims of fashion, though. They're driven by generational improvements in technology and tooling.
