I guess my story is not really cool, but okay, I lost my job as a Digital designer (Yeah, I actually have a bachelor's degree in graphic design, I'm an impostor)

I lost it because I saved enough money to travel to Japan and I wanted to stay at least a month so the company didn't like it. after coming back I got a job as a content editor, I just copied old content from an old website to a new one, basic html and css, not even responsive design, then I got really into it, and bootstrap came along, the company opened a new department "Front End" so I got in, I learnt responsive design and Jquery, really loved it, I went back to Japan for a month and a half, keeping my job, I liked it, but I quit.

I now work as a remote front end and I feel stuck, I'm very comfortable as remote, don't wanna go back to an office, but it seems I'll have to, can't find any opportunities to improve remotely, and I feel like I'm missing what the "cool kids" are doing.

    @RTRMS that moment when you imply that you, yourself, are cool...

    @mikevdv not an implication.

    The cool kids are probably using webpack, ES6 (and above), redux and Angular 4. Yes, we have Angular 4 now.

    But on the real, you can keep up to date by listening to podcasts like Frontend Happy Hour and Javascript Jabber. Do some small "hello worlds" with the technologies they mention or what you see are popular in the Web community. This is what I've done as the only UI dev in the company.
