As with what krilnon was saying, it definitely seems like we’ve left the forum era and moved on to… I don’t know what. Maybe we’re more social media focused and a lot of this has moved on to twitter? I definitely see things brought up there (including via [kirupa](https://twitter.com/kirupa)) It’s not a platform I’ve gotten too involved with myself. Same with whatever Slack/Discord communities might be out there, though it sounds like they’re not very discoverable.

As for what I’m working on, I’m pretty much 100% client side JavaScript. On top of that there’s been a sprinkling of Objective-C/Swift or Kotlin, but my team has recently made a transition that makes my exposure to those even less likely now.

**Tools** :

- Visual Studio Code
- 2014 Macbook Pro - though about to upgrade to a 2019, mostly because work requires we upgrade. The 2014 model is still a workhorse and I would be happy sticking with it.

**Technologies** :

- Node
- Grunt
- Webpack
- JavaScript/TypeScript
- Backbone
- React
- LitElement (Web Components)
- Storybook
- Jest/enzyme/karma/mocha/chai/sinon
- Express

Some of our tech stack probably goes back close to 10 years or so with a proprietary framework that we still use that helped serve the [Edge suite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Edge) apps. Since then we’ve also moved to backbone, and then from backbone to react (though we still have a lot running on backbone) and more recently starting to move in to using web components. The verdict is still out on those, though.

Also, about the only designing I do anymore is for [kirupa’s head](http://forum.kirupa.com/t/1002-things-to-do-with-kirupas-head/277933) 😜
