Considers the act of creation to be one of the most magical things around. Over twenty years of experience in creating software, with the last ten years focusing on startups mostly.
Hey all. Getting fed up with Medium.com brought me here. Also, I never seem to be able to handle having my blog on a single platform for longer than a year. Time to change! I am Wilfred. I have been in the industry for more than 20 years, wearing all the hats you can imagine. The last decade I have been mostly working on startups. I like getting things done, and after having done Scala on two projects, it no longer seemed the fastest way to get things done, so I switched to Node. I like the ecosystem, don't necessarily like the language, but I'm okay. My background is in strongly typed languages, but I found switching to Node fairly comfortable. (But then again, we switched to CoffeeScript, in which everything is an expression, which generally makes me feel really happy.) I'm still hoping for a sensible alternative to TypeScript. Dabbled with ReasonML: there is a ton of things I like — but there are also some things I'm not all that fond of.
