I just read another article here in HN how someone learned how to program (JS/Ruby/HTML and web things..) and got a job in web development in 5 months. I guess it says all about the current quality of this subfield. Unfortunately for me, I've been "selling" myself as full-stack web developer, so I think I'm screwed.. I've been playing with electron (unfortunately based on Node), and the "npm install" installs a lot of 20 line node packages to do really small things. I think these guys took the unix philosophy of do one thing and do it right to such an unpractical extreme.. But I guess that you can't do any better when all your formal studies were 5 months in codeacademy and the like..
