I'm just the opposite - I was going mad making microservices with C# and have jumped ship to being a full stack webdev guy. I love JS, it feels so freeing and easy after working with such a heavy compiled language (I still like C# though). I really enjoy doing front-end work and I feel that I can utilize my creativity in ways I couldn't working on the backend exclusively.
- rjbwork 11y agoI just spent 3 years out of college doing C#, and while it is my first real 'love' in terms of language, I'm doing some JS/Python work now and thoroughly enjoying it. C# is great when you know what you want to build already, or have more than a few people working on the same system. But it hurts more than helps with exploratory/experimental work, or when you're just 1 or 2 guys doing the same.
- therealdrag0 11y agoHow did you get into JS? I have avoided throwing myself into the "front-end" because I feel like I don't have any artistic bent and I don't enjoy pixel pushing.
- vdnkh 11y agoI pushed for a project at work for months. Practised JS/web dev for about a year before that - when the time came I was ready. I go to a lot of JS meetups and I'll be speaking at my first this month!
