JavaScript is an obvious skills gap.

Most people claim to be able to write JavaScript but what they really mean is that they can write only a few lines only if someone else provides them a template and if someone has made all the design decisions for them. It’s color by number. Then you can’t point any of this out because people become immediately defensive crying about how hard life is and how impossible writing original software is and on and on.

I got tired of working with all the liars and pretenders. The greatest challenge doing that work is the people, not the technology.
