Sounds great Andrei! Nice to see that you are using Angular and Vue when ReactJS is SO popular at the moment, it's good to be different to the crowd sometimes. What made you pick those two over React out of interest?

I’m glad you asked!

I started learning Vue because at that time I had an interest in becoming a better laravel developer. So as Vue was kind of already integrated into laravel, I said why not? Contrary to my habits, I jumped into the vue docs and started learning. After some time, I realized how awesome the javascript ecosystem is and switched over to node from php(I think one of my best decisions, even though php ecosystem played a role in my dev growth)- this happened back in December.

Vue helped me grasp the concepts of a modern js framework, and then as the time passed, I realized it all comes down to knowing the fundamentals and you can learn everything and see every framework/tools as a way to solve your problems.

Angular was a true challenge to me. It felt a little overwhelming at the beginning, but thanks to knowing the fundamentals and prioritizing the goals, it turned out pretty well.

So, I’d say it all stems from curiosity and my desire to become a better dev. That means I’d also like to try react one day.😬
