Earlier quoted context omitted.

when I see programmers who know so many languages, I feel like I have no chance and I dont bother to apply, but thankfully I have a lot of ideas of my own.I hope you will accept a worthy offer, because not many employers can understand beside languages how long it takes to learn all the other technologies.

Well, do they know the language, or have they just written a little code in it? I don't think I really know a language until I've spent a couple of years in it, and written something significant in it (rather than just doing maintenance and tweaks in an existing code base). This works in your favor: You read that resume and perceive someone who looks like a coding star. As someone who reads a lot of s/w engineering r…

I guess that would put me at really only knowing PHP and C++, and even still that C++ claim is pretty dubious knowing my own history, sparsely spread out over a long period of time.

I don't feel like a coding star, really, I'm just a petty mathematician whose really excited to engineer stuff.

In my defense, I have learned (through attrition) that one tool will not make all solutions so, when presented with the opportunity I take the time to learn something new.

But, for the record, I think knowing several variants of assembly is wicked cool.

Thank you kindly for putting your thoughts forward, I will take them serious thought.

Hi, I’m Joe! Over the last six years I've been tackling a wide array of challenges at young and mature startups and larger companies. My experience is full-stack but I specialize in tackling tough back-end problems; modeling complex domains, refactoring legacy code, and quickly delivering top-notch features are a few of the things that I do best. I'm looking to continue focusing on the back-end.
