10+ years
One of my go-to languages, especially for web services that need to perform. I love the lower-level control in memory over python and java. Also, wins cutest mascot.
15+ years
Java has been my native programming language for a while. I do wish it had lower-level memory control and native unsigned ints, but it has served me well for many years building web apis.
5+ years
Python is a relative newcomer to my repertoire, but I have enjoyed using it for flask/fastapi apis, as well as some data science-related things that don’t have as much support in other languages.
7+ years
A mix of angular, react, vue, and svelte over the last several years. I prefer TS over JS/ES, and don’t enjoy the minutiae and exactness of UI, but am happy to build prototypes that a better designer can improve.
