Hi,
As a dev, then software architect/devops guy, then CTO of my own startup, I've always relied on the following tools:
* Java (as my "base" skillset, but somewhat rusty after a bit more than two years not actively coding)
* Python, either for scraping, admin or math related stuff
I don't have much experience in front end development, although I understand it and can manage a team doing it.
I have friends that swear by nodeJS, I've looked into it but my "dislike" for JS (and all things front related really) make me fear I won't be good at it.
So what would my fellow HN users recommend as a new skillset to acquire, mainly to keep on top of new things and breathing a bit of fresh air outside of my day-to-day tasks?
