Things I learned about myself this week
- I have grown so unhappy programming Java that I’m willing to turn away opportunities to advance my career from interested employers at amazing companies who want me to continue programming in Java.
- I dislike JavaScript more than Java, but find that because I’m using JavaScript to directly enhance the user’s experience, it’s a smidgen more palatable.
- I find that watching my baby girl identify goals (“I want that toy over there”), identify the hurdles in achieving those goals (“that’s too far away”), and address those hurdles (“pulling on the baby blanket moves the toy closer”) is far more rewarding than anything I’ve done in my professional life.
- I can lose weight without being miserable.
Not inspired by the JavaScript engine arms race? I can almost hear people saying “JavaScript is BACK, baby!”
