About me
Razvan Tanase
Fullstack Developer -
GitHubrazvan@razshare.devI'm Raz, I write software for a living as a fullstack software developer.
I make use of all sorts of tools and programming languages in order to achieve my goals, ranging from front-end and back-end languages to systems languages.Linux
My development environment of choice is Linux.
It's not just a preference, I genuinely think there is no better environment to develop in.Distros Familiarity

Open source software and code has helped me a great deal over the years, so I think it's only natural to give back to the community.
So I take some time of my weekends to contribute to and maintain open source projects.

If given the liberty to choose, my go-to language is always Go.
Over the years I've come to appreciate simple languages like Go, Zig, C and even Lua .
I am of the idea that the best programming paradigm is simply the procedural one, a paradigm stripped of any complexity save for procedures/functions.
I don't like complexity for the sake of complexity.
That is one of the reason I'm writing Frizzante .Framework Familiarity FRIZZANTEPRIMARYHIGH ECHOPRIMARYHIGH Svelte
As the man himself said; Svelte is a JavaScript framework... but it's also a language.
For the most part, I use Svelte as a DSL.
In the same way that SQL is a language specifically designed to manage and aggregate data in a relational database, Svelte is a language that describes user interfaces.

Sql
I use SQL to read and manage my data.
I prefer not to use ORMs.
Whenever I do use an ORM, it's because a project specifically requires it.
Whenever that happens, I try to limit the N:N and N:1 relations I describe through the ORM itself.
The only safe relations (I think) to describe through an ORM are 1:1 and 1:N relations.
You might wonder: `How do you list things?`
And the answer is raw joins.
Over the years I've come to the conclusion that ORMs simply do a horrible job at joining tables.
It's just too much of a headache. I rather aggregate my data myself and disable any eager fetch.Dialect Familiarity MYSQLPRIMARYHIGH SQLSERVERSECONDARYMEDIUM JavaScript / TypeScript
For better or worse, JavaScript is the language of the web as of today.
Generally speaking I can write any type of JavaScript, from Angular to Vue and Svelte.
Static analysis is a must for me while writing JavaScript, which implies TypeScript.
Although I love what TypeScript brings to JavaScript, I've grown a bit distant from TypeScript and I've embraced JSDoc instead.
There are many reasons as to why I decided to stop promoting/writing TypeScript, but the main reason would be faster build times.

Java is one of the first languages I've ever learned.
Although many despise it for it's boilerplate-y nature, the extensive standard library somewhat makes up for it.When in comes specifically to web development, my frameworks of choice is Quarkus or Spring Boot.

HOTSPOTSECONDARYHIGH Css
I like writing raw CSS and SCSS.
But I also like Tailwind CSS, so it is often the case that I mix the two.
I usually start up with Tailwind and gradually add any raw CSS that Tailwind can't express in a simple manner.
One such example would be detailed management of grids and grid areas, which I like to use a lot for layouts.
More often than not I reach out for SCSS for convenience, but I have no issues writing traditional CSS.

Zig is my language of choice when it comes to systems programming.
These are the main features that make Zig a better solution when compared to other languages like C, C++, Rust and so on.
