Skills
In order of importance. Spoiler: the first one is the only one that really matters.
Skill #1 — the important one
The ability to learn and adapt to anything. I learn today what I'll need tomorrow. The rest of this list is basically that, applied.
Backend
Go, TypeScript, JavaScript, PHP… whatever it takes.
DevOps
Kubernetes, Prometheus, Nginx, AWS… a bit of everything (just enough to break production knowingly).
Frontend
HTML, CSS, BEM, Tailwind, Vue, React Native… etc.
AI / Vibecoding
Yes, I'm an AI Engineer. Proof? This very site is vibecoded top to bottom. I bring the judgement; the AI brings the typing (and the occasional joke).
Other nonsense
Agile, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Jira, GitHub, Microservices… and whatever buzzwords are trending this quarter.
This page is vibecoded with Claude Code. Not a single line written by hand, and look how readable it turned out.
