My top skill is more on the back-end side of things, as my creative side is not that good to perform UI/UX and stuff. But I can definitely do front-end programming given that I have the UI design and whatnot =)
Thanks Ken! A lot of UI isn't being creative - I'm terrible at creative thinking for design but there are a lot of principles you can read and follow in your designs to make things stand out.
Anyway, DM coming your way with a free course! Thanks!
Oh, I just seriously knew this just now. Didn't know you don't have to be outright "artsy" fellow to be good at it. You just need to follow certain principles. Thanks very much for this information. I'll definitely look it up on the internet.
Yeah Ken, check this tweet storm from Steve Schoger - he puts out strategies you can immediately put in place in your existing designs to make them look 10x cleaner and more professional

My top skills are doing the backend as of now using ExpressJS and doing some frontend using VueJS
Vue is awesome - we use it on most of our projects! It's great that you're learning full stack JS too as it's a great way to get backend and frontend experience without the costly time of learning a backend language too.
I'll also send you a copy of Andrew's AWS course straight to the DMs!
Yeah thanks. May I ask, why dis you chose Vue for your projects?
Well, with the abudance of choices, which are all good choices by the way, we went with Vue because:
A podcast fan here. Nothing better to make dead time a profitable time! My top skill is learning 📚. I'm currently leveling up my Angular skills.
Oh awesome Sebastian, thanks for being a listener! Let us know if there's anyone you want to be on (or even if you want to be on yourself!)
That's also easily our favourite answer - if you can strategically learn and actually have a passionate for the process of learning something, the skills come naturally. It's something I work on a lot and will forever work on, the process of effective self-teaching.
Also, free AWS course coming your way! Thanks again for your support and comment :)
Forgot to ask you to DM us first or follow back - either of means we can send you a message! Thanks
Just DM you. Thanks!
I have been working as a Php backend developer for 3 years now and I would say backend programming is my top skill, I'm trying to also learn some frontend tech, trying to learn React right now 💪
Awesome! Do you use a framework when working in PHP? And React is a great choice and fairly future proof. I'd suggest checking out Vue too as it ties in quite well with PHP's Laravel.

I use mainly laravel as framework, I might check out vue Js too, thanks for the suggestion :)
I'll shoot you a dm thanks!!
Backend development aside, my top tech skill would most probably be being able to use Python to automate most of the simple things I repeatedly do :D though I'm still just learning about automating stuff related to servers and deployment (devops, SRE, etc).
Awesome post, got me more motivated to learn more 👍
my top skill is php .
Thanks for the comment Ponick! Open your messages and I'll send you access to the AWS course.

We wouldn't help over phone Chad but you can always put #help posts on here! It's an open community and everyone's happy to help.
My top skill right now is probably Javascript. But, I'm having fun constantly exploring all sorts of tech.
It's a fantastic attitude to maintain throughout your career to explore different types of tech! You never know what tools can be useful on what project.
Can you open a DM with us Brian, then we can send you access to the free AWS Course 😄
As a backend developer I love exploring different paths. Just discovered this series and liked so much. Thank you, very informative post and podcast indeed :)
Thanks so much for your comment, we are really glad you like the series and find everything very informative! Andrew has a way of putting things and he's got a lot of insights he's clearly been thinking about, so we're glad to bring this to you.
On the point of exploring different paths, if cloud computing is something you're interested in, Andrew is kindly giving away free courses to get you certified - he usually charges for these but the first 100 commenters on this post get them without charge. If you want access to that just DM us on here and we'll send it over.
Thanks for engaging regardless! :)
My top tech skill is not giving up and just learning enough to get productive. (I hope that counts.)
It is. I'm N years in the industry and still find something to learn every day. There is no way one person will know everything. Learning on the go and solving an actual problem in front of you is a pragmatic approach. 👍
My top skills are JavaScript, Go and PHP with React. Different language for different things!

My top skill is in DevOps. Especially, using the Cloud Service provider like AWS and creating a CICD pipelines.
Yo! I am obsessed with learning new things, My best tech skill is HTML/CSS. Non-tech is UX research

My top skill would be knowing random stuff of JS but now I’m also adding knowing random stuff about Python and Docker 🐍🐳

Full stack is a competitive market? LOL ok. We're talking about people doing 3 - 4 jobs in one, which very few can effectively do. Any true full stack dev can get any job he wants.
Top skill is JS
Great read my man, I think I'm personally best at backend development. I appreciate what you're doing for us developers!
Top skill, all things considered, would be Javascript
My skill is more on back-end more than front-end .Want to be a senior node js and angular developer.
Hey Matthew, my top tech skill is JavaScript.
