SQL is a nice place to work in. It doesn't change. It's older than me. It's simple to learn, no OOP, no async promises, etc. There aren't people creating new frameworks every week for it. What you write today will work in 10 years time.

@zaidahmad__dev I think employers don't want people who have run their own business, because they aren't controllable like normal employees. Freelances have minds of their own and can out manage all the managers who want to employ you.

Is JavaScript really the problem, or is it just the way it gets used. Most JavaScript code I see is poor, and if that is all people see then they are going to think it's a language issue, when it's not.

Is code readability more important these days than performance? In some areas speed is very important, games, sorting, searching, etc. But with so much computing power at our hands, everything else doesn't require super fast code. Making it understandable is more important.

In response to the government safe programming language policy, a new political JavaScript variant has been created. Testing has not gone well however. Promises don't get resolved, it's full of exceptions, constants can be changed, and booleans are always false.

When using it to help with writing code, ChatGPT is like that hot mate that lies to you. While it looks pretty sexy on the surface but it's got all kinds of issues deep down and rarely works much of the time without a lot of work and coaxing. It's faster to actually "code".
