How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.
Location
City of Bath, UK 🇬🇧
Education
10 plus years* active enterprise development experience and a Fine art degree 🎨
For me I started my career in the front end, it got to the point where I wanted more. More than node, more than typescript. Knowledge of programming in general is my goal, my first dip into another language was lua, not syntactically similar just a really interesting simple scripting language, that has deep ties within C, I then tried to tape node and lua together with WebAssembly and c++ because why not. It's true that I am accustomed to C style dialects, but it's also true that I have never had such expectations that everything is like JavaScript. I don't think I have met anyone who has had this expectation, but in my bubble all the developers in our team are full stack with a strong lean towards whatever.
I believe in learning programing concepts not languages, to do this I have delved in to a number of backend languages which I am starting to loose count, (being good at a language was not the point, learning was) Most recently returning to Rust, I find this language is outstanding.
I have not yet taken a stab at PHP but I have wrote a few posts about my shameful predudice against it and why I should give it a chance because honestly PHP has probably got a lot to offer in the server department. Anyway I find this opinion interesting but not really quantifiable.
