I’d consider myself senior. I’ve been using Javascript since it was beta. I like Javascript. I don’t mind TypeScript. I mean, it’s nice and all but it doesn’t strike me as the be-all that others make it out to be. Maybe I just don’t use it for the types of project for which it was designed.
It’s like I’m a metal worker and I get along fine with a ball peen hammer. You come along and give me your claw hammer with great excitement. Sure, it can mostly do the same job, but my ball peen hammer is what I’m used to so I’m sticking with it.
