As I like to joke, I am a simple liberal arts major...with about 24 years on/off Wall Street. Have been an intermediate user of R seemingly forever. While I find node.js painful, early days still, the capabilities that I have and will have in the near future to improve my Shanghai based professional services business speaks to the power of the technology/framework, whatever you want to call it. Working on a Hugo website and then will move to microservices offerings to clients both as lead generators and new service offerings. I am psyched.
