It’s missing a lot of things that people really care about (with good reason) like static typing. But I think a lot of dislike also comes from it being more of a functional programming language and not object oriented. I like it because it’s like scheme or lisp but with a C like syntax that I find easier to read. I also like that I can do dynamic stuff with websites. In some ways it’s the perfect scripting language for the web. Just as messy and unpredictable as html.

Yeah, true

I mean that is the first step. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ The next step is to start defining the types more strictly than any.

I like this question. Maybe Dionysus a god of ritual madness?

I like that Safari is not Chrome, since Apple’s core business isn’t search ads/tracking. I don’t like that WebKit is kind of the IE 6 of iPhones (only option and hard to develop against) I don’t use Firefox much, it’s always kind of been a mess (did they ever move on from XUIL or whatever it was called?). But Firefox is open source for real and I hope it can continue to be a very viable option.

My company requires either a code demo of existing code or a take home coding challenge. We get way too many people that cannot write code to not put that gate in place. It’s not even too terribly difficult or rigorous. Mostly looking for basic understand of fundamental things like DI, caching, background operations, etc.

Unless you are a bank or credit union. Then you just love duo for some reason.

I work on marketing websites which are essentially disposable. So every 3 years you start over from scratch (in a new version of some CMS). So I don’t get to build super cool functionality much, but I do get to work with newer tech stack. (I still don’t need 99.99% of the js frameworks flavors of the week)
