I find that the easiest and most reliable way to avoid having to deal with JavaScript is to simply avoid doing anything related to the web. Life is better that way.

That's pretty hard to do, since nearly everything in IT today is web-related: enterprise client/server applications; mobile apps; the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT).

...with full awareness of the irony involved, I will note that I actually did have to write some JavaScript code last year, for work - not because I was doing anything related to the web, but because I was building some test cases for our static-analysis tool. So even in this nearly web-free paradise, JavaScript still managed to wriggle in.

There's no doubt this policy has created some interesting challenges for my career path, but I still think it was the right decision. It reduced the number while increasing the quality of the available work options.
