Full-stack Web Dev

My favorite software to work on is full-stack web development. Here's a list of the tools I use daily. They built this website, btw.

Backend and Database

  • Python, my favorite programming language. Choice of data scientists and Machine Learning folks as well. I use it every day.
  • Django has been my goto backend since 2009. I even attended the first ever djangocon at the Googleplex. Saw GVR in person. Good times.

Frontend

  • HTML, the language of the web. These docs are also fantastic.
  • JavaScript, while it sucks, it's critical for frontend development.
  • Tailwind CSS, a great css processor. Rather than thinking about pages as collections of components, this is like an inline shorthand for styles. I like it a lot.
  • HTMX, the dark horse of frontend interactivity. It's so simple it makes React, Next.js, Vue.js, Svelte.js, [insert nonsense JS Framework here] look ridiculous. HTMX is literally what the web was always meant to be. Use it and love your life.
