Tailwind should have bought shadcn and started pushing a better subscription model. Shadcn & vercel ate tailwind's lunch imo.

LLMs are mostly trained on jsweb stuff. Are very good for it. The need for web developers will GREATLY decrease. Thats how it is.

Well that was an understatement. That issue devolved completely.

Shoutout to Adam Wathan and team. I rarely shell out any money, but Tailwind was an exception. They actually made front end development fun for me and added tons of value with their UI kit etc. Even though I rarely use it, I bought the lifetime to support their mission. Hope they can continue supporting the framework. It was the best thing to happen to front end in a long time imo.

75% it’s 3/4, and plural “we have let go” means 6 people was let go. Or three if that’s a royal “we”.

So are they laying off 75% (3 people) because using AI 1 person can do the work of 4?

I bought the Refactoring UI book years ago and it taught me so much about simplicity and good design!

It’s tragic that a good product, with a lot of users is not able to generate decent revenue.

>But the reality is that 75% of the people on our engineering team lost their jobs here yesterday because of the brutal impact AI has had on our business.

Wow that is just, really tragic... AI continues to just decimate this industry. Everyday I'm happy that I am, and have been since about day 3, an AI-hater.
