Senior frontend engineer. 18+ years in production. Writing about architecture, accessibility, and the frontend problems nobody talks about.

The advice to be visible is correct. Nobody talks about what it actually costs. The volume, the fear, the parallel grind on top of an already brutal job search.

Wrote about it.

Internal tests see source. Bugs live in dist.
Three enforcement layers (ESLint, build config, test:dist) close the gap. Walked through it in nuka-ui.

Yes. It also does the thing.

The cost of correcting an agent that drifted, hallucinated, or edited the wrong file is much higher than the cost of structuring it well up front.

The planning work that gets skipped under every deadline was never skipped because engineers didn't know how to do it.

It was skipped because time was the binding constraint.

That constraint is largely gone now.

There is a role that does not appear in any job description but exists on every frontend team.

You are not building. You are maintaining the illusion that the codebase is still under control.

The Janitor Pattern. And it is not caused by bad developers.

I don't know about you but I much more enjoy deleting code than writing it
