I've been programming for almost 25 years now. My skills range from websites to desktop applications to native mobile apps and more.

I created https://github.com/spirodonfl/htmx-offline-mode.

You can look at over a years worth of content where I build a video game in Zig, Odin and now C, compiled to WASM, running on the browser with no hardware acceleration, no canvas, no webgpu, no webgl, vanilla HTML, vanilla CSS (and css3d, btw), vanilla JS, all div elements, just to show it's possible. https://www.youtube.com/@SpiroFloropoulos

Team engagement, mentoring, hiring, devrel, content creation are all additional skills to programming. Building fast, robust, websites and applications is my bread and butter.

very few apps actually need reactivity.

spirodonfl · 8 months ago

A shockingly underrated statement these days. Couldn't agree more.
