Lol, there's no shortage of that in the web world! Every two years or so, right when I feel like I kinda sorta mastered something, it's obsolete and replaced by the new shiny...
> Are you a web front-end specialist
Yes, sort of? I'm a frontend dev with some past full stack experience, but it's all mostly self-taught and I don't have a real comp sci or math background, which means a real weakness when it comes to data structures and algorithms. Especially for graphics, it's a hindrance.
I just happened to grow up with the Web, having learned HTML before CSS and JS were invented, and kinda sorta kept up with it over the decades. Overall I'm a pretty mediocre dev though, especially when it comes to algorithmic optimizations, so you'll have to find someone else for help with that part :) Maybe reach out to some of the lib authors after reviewing their code?
- Farer 2y agoThat's right. Web frontend has always been constantly changing. And that's what makes it even more fun. Because of that, I try not to focus too much on new technologies. Of course, new challenges are always meaningful, and over time, if they become well-refined, they might settle in as standards. I'm really glad to have had such a great conversation through this opportunity!
