Really exciting and we get to build out a great vision, but honest truth: this means a ton more responsibility.

What's your stack like?

armandososavor 16 Jahren

So far is PHP on the backend, JS + HTML5 on the client side.

I like that extraneous "like" in the title. It like totally cleared things up and made me feel like I was like totally in high school again.
