Perhaps the most demotivational advice I've ever read :-)
"Learn javascript and clean up other people's mess."
- falcolas 11y agoThat very advice has powered many a career in Cobol...
- estefan 11y agoBut you're not meant to tell someone that when they're just starting out... :-)
- NathanKP 11y agoSome people (myself at least) actually like refactoring. There is something really satisfying about coming in and fixing up a badly written Node.js codebase, breaking it up into microservices, etc. Plus if you want to be a $200+ per hour contractor, this type of "mercenary work" can be really profitable.
