In 2007, being a seasoned Win32 programmer, I was experiencing anxiety, because web development seemed to be taking over the world, and I had not yet written so much as an HTML tag. One day, I started fiddling with Javascript, and six months later I was a mid-level front end developer.
Since that time, I never worried about this again. We have the real option of learning whatever tech stack we want.
- SyneRyder 10y agoYou went from zero Javascript/HTML to a job in six months? Is that common? I feel uncomfortable applying for a job in something I only have a few months experience with. On the flip side, I've found that sometimes you don't need to panic about these things, and the flavour of the month is just that. I'm still making money from Win32 code in 2017, even though iPads & tablets were meant to replace all desktop & laptop computers by now.
