About How to be a web developer: Stuff Everybody Knows
from our crawl and measurement
"A guide to the rest of your web development career, by Laurie Voss." That is how How to be a web developer: Stuff Everybody Knows introduces itself. When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.1 out of 10.
On its own pages the site does well on a clear heading structure and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on basic crawler access. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, structured data describing the business and credibility markers like credentials or reviews.
Off the page there is only faint evidence that the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, almost no other sites link to it, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. None of that can be fixed on the page: it has to be earned.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this?
This is a guide to how to be a web developer. This website started as a conversation at JSConf US in 2014. Because JSConfs are more fun than other conferences, the conversation was in a swimming pool. I was complaining about hiring junior people out of bootcamps.
But what about coding agents?
The bulk of this guide was written in 2014, long before anybody imagined LLM-powered coding agents. But it was intended to be timeless advice: I deliberately left out things like syntax and frameworks and short-term trends, and the result is that nearly all of it stayed relevant (I have trimmed a few bits now that nobody writes code directly any more).
But what about frameworks?
If there's anything you take away from this guide, it should be that frameworks are transient. Pick them up as they become useful, drop them when they get stale and bloated. The same applies to platforms, programming languages, infrastructure trends and development tools. Never tie your career to any single technical choice; don't let them become your identity. Your identity is web developer.
