From Table Layouts to Tailwind: 20 years of hard lessons and hotfixes

Two decades in web development is a long time—long enough to have seen frameworks rise and fall, best practices become worst practices, and simple hotfixes bring down entire sites. In this talk, I’ll share lessons learned, mistakes made, and insights gained—not just about code, but about collaboration, problem-solving, and navigating a career in an ever-changing industry.

Dan Ott is a developer and designer with Sprokets. He’s been working on the web since 2005 to plan, design, and implement projects ranging from old php/mysql apps to modern web apps to mobile apps, and lots of things in between. He’s also a father to two ridiculous boys and one absurd dog, an Eagle Scout, and an org maintainer at Virtual Coffee.
