Ask HN: What should I learn and write about next?

2 points·novice1234··2 comments

As a front-end developer what should I learn next to improve my skill set. (and I also want to write articles about it while I learn; like a journey)

I use (everyday): REACT, REACT-NATIVE, REDUX, WEBPACK, CSS-FRAMEWORKS(Boostrap, Bulma, Materialize etc)

I know (not using everyday): NODEJS/EXPRESS, BASIC DBs (MySQL, Mongo. etc), Firebase / Firestore, ROR

Any Suggestions?

Learn anything, but please don't write about it. There's nothing worse than people who can barely switch a computer on writing 'tutorials' on it.

How to lean down your stack so it will survive longer.

That is what I am interested in most. A pure html/css/js stack will probably last 10x longer then the typical stack developers use these days.

So if you are similarely productive with a pure stack, you are 10x more productive in the long run. As for the same work you get 10x more time of running software.

If you are 2x slower with a pure stack, you are still 5x more productive in the long run.

I find the question very interesting, where the optimum is.

Just pure html/css/js? html/css/js + a frontend template engine like handlebars? A framework like Vue that you include in the frontend? Or a heavy version of it that also requires something on the backend? Should there be a build process or not?
