Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of a Freelance JavaScript Developer
"Suddenly, a system stops working, and there are 10,000 users waiting for you to fix it. That's also part of the life of a developer."
Johnny Fekete was in high school in Hungary when he first learned computer programming. "I found it fascinating at the time, that you can write something, and then the computer will do what you tell it to do," he says in an interview.
