I am looking to transition careers and was wondering if you or anyone you know is looking for a Junior Front-End Web Developer, working with and creating documentation, or in Developer Relations.
I am currently working with React/NextJS, Astro, and Tailwind CSS.

Anyone interested in joining Gridiron Survivor project?

Use text replacement on your phone/laptop if you're tired of typing out or copy+pasting the same things over and over again.
