" summary

Practical career advice for JavaScript developers: create and publish a project on GitHub to gain visibility, show work via conferences and Stack Overflow, and deploy production apps (AWS). Learn a new language or framework each year (examples: Angular, Node, React), decide between being a generalist or specialist while staying ready to retrain, evaluate consultancies critically, and expect high-scale metrics (claimed peaks of ~150k requests/sec) and tough startup odds (~1 in 10,000).
