About SadWebDeveloper

Senior Web Developer or "Full stack developer" by today standards, better-know as the "unpopular opinion" on several threads.

The current state of web development makes me sad, mostly because it's all fault of all the die-hard javascript developers, you know what f*ck all javascript/ecmascript/typescript/node developers.
