I’m currently organizing a roadmap for improving my full-stack skills. I work in JS with Node and React.

Does anyone have any opinion on whether I should spend time learning Deno and Typescript instead of digging deeper into what I already know? I find it hard to tell if Deno will start showing up in job descriptions in a few years, or if Node is so entrenched that it would only distract me from building on my current skills.

Typescript will completely change your productivity and is a massive game changer for JS. You don’t even have to learn much for it to add massive value.

Any good resource recommendations.

Glad to see that hitching my ride to the Vue.js bandwagon seems to be paying off

I've used Backbone, Angular, React, Stimulus, etc. and I've finally hit on Vue. I've been using Vue 3 for the past couple of months and it really hits the sweet spot for me.

This section (https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/comparison.html#With-MobX) is what got me interested: "...the React + MobX workflow can be thought of as a more verbose Vue, so if you’re using that combination and are enjoying it, jumping into Vue is probably the next logical step"

I shunned the JS world for a while after jumping on the Meteor bandwagon a few years ago and seeing it just fizzle out to a boat load of outdated and unsupported dependencies. Rails was just so much more productive and easy for solo work.

But recently I built a couple of services in typescript and the ecosystem seems to have stabilised a lot, my productivity was super high and I’m majorly impressed.

Definitely learn Typescript type annotations/compilation pipeline.
