Over time that feeling faded as I faced the realities of building code at scale. Bogged down by so many opinions of the &ldquo;right&rdquo; way to do things, instead of the joy of creation I now felt the dread of knowing I hadn&rsquo;t tested the code well enough, or that dependencies weren&rsquo;t injected, or that I had 327 npm deprecation warnings.</p><link>https://dylanwatt.com/homepage/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://dylanwatt.com/homepage/</guid><description><h1 id="about-me">About Me</h1> <div style="float: right; margin: 10px 30px 10px 20px;"> <img src="../image.png" alt="Profile photo" width="64" height=""> </div> <p>I&rsquo;m a software technologist with a focus on end user product.
