You’ve been hooked on coding since your first Hello World!
But you want to solve real problems and go home at the end of the day knowing that your work makes a difference.
You’ve probably used https://www.speedtest.net to check your bandwidth. Perhaps you’d be surprised to know that every day 5 million people use our app on the web, on iOS and Android. It’s even embedded in routers.
You’ve been looking to own a major component, to continuously evolve it and to find the sweet spot between elegance and getting things done. You know HTTP inside and out. You enjoy how much you can get done with a few lines in Node. Callbacks are second nature and you have an opinion on promises. Perhaps you wish JSON allowed trailing commas.
