First article of 2024 is out! It’s going to be a productive year. I researched and tested a bunch of extensions to share with you all. These are a good base. I will share some language specific extensions and some unique fun ones I discovered soon!

The job market is supposed to improve more by end of Q1 2024. Spring is likely going to be a good time to start prepping and looking for a new role. If your company plans to hire this year, drop the company name below so we can be on the lookout for openings 👇🏻

I have been tracking down the best vscode extensions to share with you all. Check out Gremins tracker. It helps to identify characters that can be harmful or deceptive and identifies them with little gremlins!
What are some of your current favorite vscode extensions?

I don’t know about you all, but 2023 was a pretty stressful year. I am starting off 2024 with a new role at Nutanix! I’ll still be doing UX Engineering and working on plenty of new and exciting things. Happy new year!

I feel for everyone at Spotify, Twilio, and any other company going through layoffs. Community is important at a time like this. If anyone impacted finds an open role at Nutanix that interests them, please reach out to me.

One of the top worst experiences is refreshing your email every minute to see if you’re impacted by a layoff.

I recently migrated an entire application from create-react-app to Vite at work (rip CRA) The transition was easier than expected. It was my first experience with Vite and the DX is nice. Jest to Vitest is a pretty straightforward transition too.

New Candidate Alert! I'm ghost posting for someone I know is amazing at their job and recently became available on the market. They're looking for a position as a UI or UX Engineer. Love to be able to be the go-to for CSS on the team. Ideally working with a design system especially if they use Storybook. Really anything on more of the front of the front end.
Would like the company to be fully remote. They have experience managing a design system, knowledge around accessibility, design, UX, Figma. Base salary range ideally $150-180k. DM me if you're interested. I get nothing, but the joy of connecting you two together.

The Assets tab in the Figma for VS Code extension has a nice user experience to save and use assets. Not only is it easier to find assets, but when you select Export, it immediately prompts you to choose a path to save it to.

I've been playing around with the Figma VS Code Extension and I have to say it's pretty awesome. Can't wait to see how it evolves. And with Figma Dev Mode it is going to be ever important to become familiar with Figma as a Front End developer.
