• I’m a React developer

    Does this sound insane to anyone else ? I’m not a something developer, I choose technologies appropriate for the application.

    React Native would never be a choice on my list, but even so, it has a use case : making cross-platform applications with web technologies.

    You know what doesn’t need either cross-platform or web technologies ? The start menu on Windows 🤦🏻‍♀️

      i’m a python “developer” because that’s the only thing i can somewhat reliably manage to get stuff working in in less than a day

      so if someone say’s they’re an XYZ developer i’d just assume that’s basically the only thing they can wrap their head around

      Yes. I’m proficient in React, Vue, Angular, C#, Python, Node, Go, blah blah blah blah. I hate React Native (that’s beside the point).

      I would never say I’m an <librarylanguagehere> developer, that sounds dumb and restrictive. It is also really job-limiting which is not so great this day and age and is really about to get worse.
