Exactly seven years ago, I landed at Schiphol Airport with one suitcase and a lot of uncertainty. Today, I’m a Dutch citizen, a Senior Front-End Developer, and a witness to the biggest transformation in the history of software development.

But this isn't just a travel vlog. We’re discussing the reality of being a Senior Developer in 2026. With the rise of AI, the industry has shifted. Is "clean code" dead?
