Chapter 2
Skills & Superpowers
These are the abilities I've unlocked throughout my journey. Some were earned through grinding, others through painful boss battles with production bugs.
JavaScript/TypeScript
90%
I speak JavaScript fluently, with TypeScript as my grammar checker. From Vue to React, I've mastered the art of frontend frameworks.
PHP/Laravel
95%
Laravel artisan by day, PHP problem-solver by night. I've built everything from RESTful APIs to complex web applications.
Vue.js/React
92%
I've built so many Vue and React components that I sometimes accidentally write JSX in my emails.
Node.js/Express
85%
I build backends that are so efficient, they have time for existential crises.
Database Design
88%
I normalize databases like Marie Kondo organizes closets. MySQL, MongoDB - I speak multiple database dialects.
"The real superpower is pretending to know what you're doing until you actually do. I've been faking it so long I accidentally made it."
