#212 The world still needs people who care - CodePen founder Chris Coyier interview20 Mar1 h 19 min

Today Quincy Larson interviews Chris Coyier. He's a front-end developer and co-founder of CodePen and the CSS Tricks blog. He has also recorded more than 700 podcasts about software engineering.

We talk about:

- How he thinks front-end development tools are 90% of the way to where they need to be

- How developing for the web is "just as good as mobile, and you can reuse it everywhere."

- And why high skilled devs working on novel problems don't need to worry about AI disrupting their careers
