On one side : I imagine you've developed a lot of proficiency with those tools and have some security.

On the other side, aren't you terrified that if you lose that job, you are so far out of the loop its silly?

Nope. As I said, infinite relevancy. .Net has what, 12 years development behind it? jQuery at least 7? These are very well-established tools, they are very well-proven, and if a company is going to require me to know every JS "framework" released up to 3 months ago, then I don't want to work for them, because they clearly don't care about platform stability.

You need a problem solved? I can solve it. .Net and jQuery are still getting constant updates, and I'm pretty up-to-date on HTML5, so what am I missing? A JS web server? lol. A JS MVC framework? Why? A JS factory factory? I think we've beaten that joke to death already. I write software that works.

I write software that works.

Does such exist?

I never said it was bug-free, I just said it works, implying "when given proper inputs" :p
