Hi Jess,
Making stuff with javascript is cool right? But Learning programming with javascript is a little bit tricky, because you can start doing "crazy stuff" with only spaghetti code right? How can a javascript developer can be a really good programmer?Not just throwing some spaghetti code in there?
I am a developer at The Washington Post and I help build newsroom facing tools. I also am the Chair of the DC chapter of ACM and produce a podcast called DC Tech Stories.
For me, it has been about trying to FORCE myself to standards, using linters, and generally making my code as readable as possible with simple small functions and excessive use of comments and whitespace formatting. I struggle with architecture being on the newer side of things but I KNOW I can leave my code clean, formatted and commented. That and working really closely with my team to agree on a format and architecture and sticking to it.
