Nice to meet you, I'm Fionna, a software engineer who's been building for the web professionally since 2015.
I started when IE8 was still being supported, working with SASS, jQuery, SVN, gulp, and Sublime Text. Since then, I've worked with web components, TypeScript, Vaadin, Selenium, and Java Spring Boot on one project; Vue.js, styled-components, Jest, and Cypress on another. I've used design tools that are now irrelevant or shut down, like InVision, PhotoShop, and CSS sprites.
Today, I work with React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, SCSS, TypeScript, Vitest, pnpm, and Claude Code.
In the AI era, this tool list matters less than it did five years ago. What matters now is returning to fundamentals: critical thinking, creativity, and quality judgment. The question isn't "what tools do you know?" but "what outcome are you looking for, and how do you guide AI to produce high-quality work?"
For me, the answer is to become an exceptional reviewer. By mastering quality assessment ("good taste"), whether it's your own work, your peers' work, or AI-generated output, you learn what separates good from poor quality. That skill lets you leverage any tool effectively and produce better work than ever before. That's what I'm focused on. :)
