You know, my job is actually pretty great right now. I get to completely dictate the technology and direction of front-end engineering and ux, in a way that will probably spread to the entire company. I also am currently deferring almost all decisions because I still don't have requirements for the first project, and I don't know what the scope of anything will actually be until someone figures out what we're going to actually make, because I'm a goddamn adult and refuse to magic up busywork for my team. Finally, I plan on using the simplest, boringest technology I can possibly get away with because this company has tried not doing that and it wasn't pretty.
I will enact my vision and it will load fast and small and accessibly and reproducibly and I will not be stopped.
And in my secret heart of hearts I really wish someone would just tell me what to do here. This is scary.
