This blog post explores how machine learning (ML) can enhance the developer experience. Inspired by Corridor Crew's use of ML in VFX, I initially brainstormed ways ML could automate tedious developer tasks, like accessibility improvements and performance optimization. I also considered ML's potential for generating layouts and images. The emergence of tools like GitHub Copilot and DALL-E-2 significantly impacted my thinking, especially regarding the future of software development and my role as a DevRel lead. Ultimately, the transformative power of GPT-Chat, demonstrated through its ability to generate webpage layouts and populate them with images based on simple prompts, left me questioning the future of my profession and considering the role I might play in training the next generation of AI tools.

HTML5Rocks, a beloved resource for web developers, is shutting down. This post reflects on the site's history, its impact, and the reasons behind its decline. Key factors include the shift away from "HTML5" as a buzzword, changing team priorities, lack of a focused content plan, and challenges with community management. Despite the shutdown, the author expresses gratitude for the experience and the connections made, highlighting the lessons learned about content creation, developer engagement, and the open-source community.
