"Full stack"? Check. Hipster tld? Check. Argument based on scientifically obvious weak correlation? Check.
Well obviously this guy is going to think JavaScript is the most important thing in the universe. That's probably the only programming language he knows.
What a poor world that must be.
Obviously hobby projects are nice to have. But you should have them because you care, not because you need an "asset".
There's just so much to learn out there, so much fun! Why oh why limit yourself to the same old JavaScript?
- dang 10y agoPlease don't post snarky dismissals, even if an article isn't very good. It damages the kind of discourse we're going for here. Attacking the author, and not just the article, is still worse. (I wrote this when your comment consisted of just the first three paragraphs. The stuff you added later is better, because it isn't snarky and responds to specifics.)
- eagsalazar2 10y agoA lot of people make a good living building great apps that you use every day in javascript and a lot of people are trying to break into that line of work. For those people this article is both relevant and a decent guide. I hire Javascipt developers and guess what? If you are junior and trying to bust in and you show me a badass side project, you have a shot, so this guy isn't wrong at all. [edited: less snarkiness]
- dang 10y ago> I'm sorry you have a giant squirming bug up your ass Please don't respond to a snarky comment by posting something even worse. That's exactly the wrong direction to take.
- panglott 10y agoThe guy writes about Javascript but would "A Great Side Project Is Your Most Important Asset" be wrong?
