There is a Japanese saying that goes: “One who chases after two hares won’t catch even one.” I was that person in the past - trying to be the jake-of-all-trades, aka master of none. Over time, as I gained more experience and skills, I realized that it was not good enough to know many things - it was the practice and actual development experience that mattered. Software development is a huge subject, and being a jack-of-all-trades is important, not in the sense that you take any project and expect to succeed, but in the sense that you need to know what is going on in different parts of your software system even if you are not building its entirety, and that you should always keep learning and honing your skills. After graduating from one of the top computer science colleges in Japan and spending several years in high-profile software companies, the biggest thing I learned probably is the skill of learning. And the need for learning. Even for the technologies you are strong at, you will be outdated after a few weeks of not updating yourself. Of course, to be excellent at it. Lastly, I take one-at-a-time approach to doing everything. Make a commit, push the code and move on to the next thing. Don’t go about messing up things and making zero progress. The lines of code doesn’t matter - progress matters. This is my work philosophy. Currently, I mainly work on the frontend development with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular, Vue.js and Ember, and a bit of backend development with Node/Express, Ruby, PHP and Python/Django. Here are some of my skills: - Basics HTML/CSS/JavaScript/jQuery, ES6/ES7/ES8, TypeScript, Responsive design (Bootstrap), Git, TDD/CI, SQL/NoSQL - Frontend React (redux, redux-saga), Angular (1, 2, 4), Ember, Vue.js - Backend Node (express, sails, hapi, loopback), Ruby (rails, sinatra), PHP, Python, MongoDB, Postgres, MySQL, AWS/Firebase
