I (mrsaucey) am a developer (web) so though I’d start a thread for others on here.

What’s your language of choice?

What’s your tech stack?

And what would you be creating if you didn’t have to work on employer/client projects?

python I ran a n900 as a daily driver for 2 and hafe years for those who know know what I mean

Yes I still have it it’s in its box and no sorry it’s not going anywhere I know what I have

Would swap though for the mythic N9 but only if it’s a real one and not one off the fake copy’s floating around

I’ll start us off…

I’m currently Laravel / ViewJs, Livewire, alpineJs / SQL/ TailwindCSS

If I didn’t need clients I’d be creating something original and engaging …my way

Saw you could become a Certified JavaScript Developer the other day.

Took me a while to realise it was an exam and not a diagnosis

Worthing

Started on BBC Basic (BBC Micro 'b'). Still the best 8 bit Basic and you can get it for Windows. I actually managed to load up some of my old programs from diskette. A few games and a text adventure creator utility. Plan is to get the utility to finally work!

Started with assembler and fortran on a PDP11/23...

Then in rough chronological order:

Coral66 on Ferranti Argus 700.

Assembler and C on IBM PC.

A bit of Pascal, Forth, Python (much later), SQL (crap language), ASN.1, JavaScript, Lua, enough VHDL to be able to read it but not write it...

Created GUI for device control (before Windows...)

Bespoke real time systems, writing multi-threading OS's for embedded use on bare metal micros.

Writing file systems for disk drives on embedded systems.

Comms software.

Lots of making dissimilar CPUs talk to each other through non-standard mechanisms.

Video capture, compression, and distribution via IP protocols.

Assembler, C, C++ on a variety of CPUs.

Writing driver code for ethernet switch chips (control of VLANs, MAC level security).

Linux kernel hacking.

Motor control for PTZ security video cameras, including auto-focus algorithm.

Lots of stuff that I've completely forgotten about...

If I need pen testing doing I use either selenium, soapUI & postman , great to test web or api based surfaces and there’s lots of people and resources out there to write tests for you

Nope, my concentration is fine. Just a lifetime spent in the industry through a period of great change in languages, methods, hardware, user expectations...

We’re in a new period like that in web tech atm. It seems the “best new framework” is popping up (and dying) almost monthly. And we’re expected to learn, evaluate and adopt almost before it’s gone RC 1

React, I get. Even vue. But how is Angular still clinging on?

Despite being in my third decade of an IT career, I can’t program for shit. Tried, failed.

At the times I’ve ‘had to’, it was in RPGII and Pascal and only as simple as it gets.
