I made a small application with it a couple of years back. Much better than Swing and AWT . At any rate, UI/UX isn't my forte, I'll stick to back end.

I started out with Swing and it was Moved on to JavaFX and a breh was like

Never tried AWT but I can only imagine how bad it was considering Swing was considered to be a huge improvement over it.

What type of back end programming do you do (ie. what kind of tasks etc.)?

It's hard to say, my role isn't clearly defined. The way I'm utilized I have to be a jack of all trades. Database schema updates, operations troubleshooting, CI/CD work, several manners of testing, extending core functionality of the application. SQL, Java, Bash, Python, Ruby, JavaScript. It's a lot of learning on the go.

Very interested in trying this. It is supposed to allow for seamless cross platform development between iOS and Android and also be the default development platform for Google's planned Android replacement Fuchsia.

What have you done with it?

Just getting started with it, so I haven't made anything super significant. Dart is quite similar to javascript so it's not super difficult to pick up.

Well the pay is obviously good compared to other professions but it's nowhere near good enough when compared to other companies. It's very hard to see myself sticking around after my 401k vests in a couple of years. At that point they'll probably have to damn near double what I'm making now to properly compensate me for my skills and body of work. Sad thing for the company, I'm not a unique case. They're hemorrhaging talent, at least in my area, because they don't want to pay accordingly. In 3 or 4 years I'm targeting Microsoft and Google, possibly Amazon depending on where HQ2 ends up. If I land there I'm gonna be dug in like a tick.
