New Job
Interesting times when it comes to career progression. Back to React.
I recently switched jobs. It's pretty much the same thing as before (front-end), but I have some new things to learn.
The first big change is I’m now writing TypeScript with React, instead of JavaScript and Vue. I’ve used React exclusively in a previous job for a few years, but it’s changed a lot since (hooks everywhere). TypeScript was something that I tended to avoid, but it’s actually really nice, and it might be something I switch to in my personal projects.
Accessibility is another focus here. I’ve tried to keep it in mind before, but this is a front-and-centre requirement now, which feels brilliant.
I’ve got my first task, which lets me explore code and ask questions. At the same time, I keep needing to remind myself that I only just started, and any expectations in terms of productivity are coming from me. It’s a time for learning right now, and I’ll figure it out.
