Hey guys, undergraduate here. After reading this thread, I doubt myself about my current studying. I'm a CS student. Normally, I'd be graduated and will be on my way into IT industry as an intern right now. But a lot of things happened in my country, Myanmar. I'm now self studying various things like react, django. My question is am I doing right thing learning those shiney tech, or which ones am I supposed to be doing for? What skills would you expect from people like me? Graduating will not be happening so soon with the country's situation right now. Originally, I'm thinking to post on ask hn but anyway.
Django and react are not what I would call "shiny tech" these days. React is a mature and widely used technology now. You are investing in learning solid technologies there.
Once you have a solid grounding in React, I would highly recommend picking up some TypeScript and node.js. Those three go together a lot, at least where I live (Netherlands). If you know all three, there are tons of opportunities for both permanent and freelance positions.
Thanks, that helps a lot. After spending some time on hn, I find most people here hate react and spa. And I thought I got manipulated by online blogs or so. I'm planning to do as you said.
Thanks again.
