The Replay (2/4/26): AI-first leadership, Tailwind layoffs, and more

The Replay is LogRocket’s weekly newsletter for dev and engineering leaders.

Delivered once a week, it’s your curated guide to the most important conversations around frontend dev, emerging AI tools, and the state of modern software.

Here’s what you’ll find in this week’s edition:

2/4/26

Ken Pickering, CTO at Scripta Insights, explains why being “AI-first” isn’t about tools or features; it’s an operating model that reshapes leadership, hiring, and how engineering teams actually get work done.

PodRocket hosts a panel on Tailwind layoffs, disappearing documentation traffic, and how AI is reshaping dev tooling, open source monetization, and the future of frontend frameworks.

Jude Miracle breaks down why most PWAs fail offline, and how to build a Next.js 16 app that actually works without a network using IndexedDB, service workers, and thoughtful UX.

Why being “just a developer” isn’t enough anymore.

The secret life of a developer’s coffee mug.

….and much more.
