My name’s Vladimir, I’ve been writing code for 15 years. I remember the days before IntelliSense, when “autocomplete” meant a printed O’Reilly book on your desk and a strong memory. Over the last decade and a half, I’ve moved from jQuery spaghetti code to complex Next.js architectures and microservices. Like many of you, I jumped
