I've been using python since 2020 for a variety of applications such as simple scripts, desktop apps and website backends. It's the language I started with and know most about.
My first experiments with HTML were back in 2020. Nowadays, I create entire websites with it.
Shortly after I began using HTML, I started learning JavaScript. I almost always use vanilla JS except for ajax-requests, for which I use jQuery.
Since I was creating web pages, I've been using CSS. First only to lay out the pages, later for more complex things such as navigation bars.
In the spring of 2022, I wanted to create my first website with python as the backend. Flask was definitely a good choice, as it easy to use but still has all the necessary features.
Git is an almost existential tool for collaboration for developers. As you can see in my GitHub contribution graph, I started using it at the start of 2023.
As a linux user, I've used bash to automate daily tasks as well as to create shortcuts.
For scientific papers which I have to write in school, I use LaTeX because it is well organized and the go-to standard.
As my website got more popular, I chose SQLite to store data such as hashed credentials and uploaded content from the users.
My website uses nginx for SSL encryption and to secure the flask backend by measures such as rate limiting.
