POD 68 - Webflow moved on. Did we?

For the past two years, I have done almost nothing but Webflow development, and Webflow is clearly building for marketers now. That changes what the next few years look like for people like me.

I go through Ran Segall's video about the development phase shrinking and the responses to it, Timothy Ricks joining Webflow, and what Source by Webflow reveals about where the company is actually betting. I also get into what happens to the Webflow community, what is worth building when building got easy, and what I am going to do myself: more time on design, a first Astro build, and where this podcast goes.

I do not have clean answers here. If you are sitting with the same question, leave a comment with what you are about to do.
