I provide remote consultancy and hands on coding services for clients for a living, and follow the latest trends and technologies on medium, react newsletter and react digest to stay updated IMO, this is, by far, the best UI library available today.

My first (and maybe last?) programming language. I loved how it evolved over the years, and now with ES6-7 it can compete with the rest of the "big boys" out there. I released some NPM packages and participate in some OS projects that I use. My main focus with clients is to balance between performance and ease of development, while enforcing best practices, including code consistency with heavy linting and prettier

Git is my VCS of choice. My basic guidelines are: - Atomic commits - Don't commit to master (enforce with a pre-commit hook) - Run unit tests, tsc, linting & prettier on pre-commit - Summarize PRs - Make PRs as small as possible - Close issues through commit/PR messages whenever possible - Let CI manage releases and deploy to staging for you

For the most part, jQuery is dead ... Long live SPA and one way data binding ;)

I used it for about a year in a large production app before es6-7 came along. I don't use it anymore today, tho I do miss it's readability from time to time.

AngularJS is magic, and it's good for small rapid prototyping, tho I don't use it anymore. Main reason is it's NOT JAVASCRIPT ... When you learn angular, you are not learning JS, you are only getting better in angular, and that for me is a no-no. Today I stick to react, and I can't recommend it enough.

It was a MAJOR improvement after gulp/grunt, but vite is the way to go now. It has a (very) steep and frustrating learning curve, and the documentation is, to say the least, AWFUL. A good session with the right mentor will save you loads of hours and will keep you and your team sane ;)
