While being an amazing emojineer 馃帀 what would you advise to those who are just starting their path as developers and emojineers? What skills do they need to succeed? 馃槑
BTW, what are the VCS skills/tricks 馃槑 which were the most useful for you?
Best regards

I think it all depends what kind of developing you want to do, and whether you want to focus more on the front end or the back end. I think I'm a bad example for how to do things, because I sort of only learn things as I need them, so I don't really have a personal improvement plan. For example, about a year ago I started working on Polymer (after working in C++ for the last 2 years), so it pretty much went "shit, I should learn Javascript and the DOM", because that's what I needed. I still don't know React or jQuery or any other front end framework, because I haven't needed to yet. I think if I wanted to build A Real Production Webapp鈩笍, I'd probably start by doing a survey of what other people are using, and take it from there. Basically: be flexible and always ready to learn.
(that's how I became an emojineer, too. I wanted to fix emoji rendering on osx Chrome and accidentally learnt about unicode in the process)
Re, version control system, the secret is that I'm really bad, but consistent. I know how to push/pull/rebase, and I've learnt about reflog which basically lets you go back in time and unbork a mistake you've made. In 90% of the cases, that's enough. In the other 10% of the cases I page @holman in a panic and hope he can fix it 馃榾
