I kinda like JavaScript.
(and I hope the name never changes, because my intro just would not make any sense)

Hi,

my name is...

Jos De Berdt

and I'm a

front-end developer

Where do I use JavaScript?

Server

NodeJs
Express
Adonis
PM2
RTC / Sockets

Browser

Native JavaScript
EcmaScript (ES6)
React
Svelte
Redux
Micro front-ends
Service Workers

Desktop / Mobile

React Native
Electron
Node-Red
CLI tools
Proton native

But wait, there's more...

I like JavaScript because of the versatility... but I actually like anything front-end related.

That includes using HTML & CSS but also on-page SEO, CI/CD pipelines or other languages such as Flutter / Dart.
When I hear or read some rant about CSS and how bad it is; I can't find myself in the reasoning behind it. I believe CSS is fantastic language.
Call me old school but I like to seperate lay-out from behavior...

The reason I'm still in development after all these years?Adaptability
The development industry is moving at a frantic pace, and developers need to keep on learning & adapting... The fast pace is proof of how the technology is still in its infancy. But it is growing and I happy to be part of that.
