@bphogan Yes, and you're paying attention, and thank goodness for that. You are spot-on in your approach and fortunate you call the shots.
@mholzschlag it is my job to teach them to learn because they will usr things not invented yet.

@jimshreds That's an incredibly strong point, Jim. Even I forget the "popularity factor" if you will. Absolutely advocate #JavascriptFirst.
@mholzschlag true. Makes it hard to use junior devs as well

@tommckearney Good point as well - I didn't think in terms of "jr" roles. Thank you!
