Recently, I had a panic attack brought on by a sort-of existential crisis. It’s the first time, maybe ever, that I was so flooded with excitement (and anxiety) over technological advances that I needed to pause. My recent trip to Augmented World Expo (AWE), the world’s largest extended reality conference, triggered AI-induced anxiety. I experienced the latest AI-enabled tools and technologies that will transform how we interact with the world around us.

Based on the non-stop rain and humidity we have had for the last 6 weeks in Massachusetts, you could probably make a case that not only do we now have a rainy season, but where our house is located, we must live in a rain forest.

Let’s be honest, JavaScript and SEO don’t always play nice together. For some SEOs, the topic can feel like it’s shrouded in a veil of complexity.

So if you understand those fundamentals, you can dig into problems, understand their impact, and work with devs to fix the ones that matter.

I will continue to write every post by hand, as I have done since December 28, 2009. Others will use newer technologies to create written content.
