WeAreDevelopers Dev Digest

Hello fellow developer, in this first edition of the new year we look back. We check the most common accessibility errors, salary trends and AI news of 2023. We also look at web components, senseless JavaScript and talk to a core maintainer of Node how it is to run such a big and important product. There's also a new CODE100 puzzle and we want you to tell us how we can improve by filling out a survey about Dev Digest! 

📋 Survey: tell us what to do better, win tickets!

OK, you're already reading this, so that's great. But we want to be better, and a new year is a great time to redesign. Please help us make this newsletter great by filling out a short survey about the topics and what we can do better. We will give out five tickets for the WeAreDevelopers World Congress 2024 amongst all the entries. 

Tell us what you want, what you really, really want.
