How did you start your programming career? What was the first programming language you learned?

What is your view on Facebook React License controversy? Do you think open source software should never change license once they are popular? 🤔

I am a backend engineer too, but I only know Ruby. So, I don't think there's anything to be embarrassed about not knowing JS/CSS. That being said, it would never hurt you to learn them.

Lee Byron, in his last AMA , said that you are the one who is responsible for upgrading React components whenever there is a new big release. How difficult is this task? What tools do you use for upgrading React in Facebook's React projects?

What tools/frameworks do you use to test React itself?

At any time, I have several ideas for various software projects. But due to time constraints I don't get to finish them. What's your advice? How should we manage our time so that we can finish side projects without hampering professional commitments?

Why the name "SurviveJS"?

Thanks for the explanation. Spot On! :D

I can see that you guys are using Angular in your Dashboard. Do you have any plans to upgrade to Angular2 or React? I am asking because vvo is involved in some good React projects like expect-jsx .

Assuming you are going to build a membership website I suggest the following path : In addition to learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript learn a backend language like NodeJS, Python or Ruby. Learn how to work with databases - Either SQL or NoSQL. But I will recommend learning internals of a NoSQL provider like mongo, couchdb etc. Learn a frontend framework like Foundation or Bootstrap. If you are not into designing it will give you a head start. Wordpress is good, but for serious projects I will suggest building something yourself. Also you will keep full control over your project this way. Learn how to integrate payment processors into your apps. I don't have any experience with vr or gaming, so can't comment on that. Good Luck!
