Back End Cloud Developer (GCP)

Think the best Silicon Valley character is Bertram Gilfoyle?
You’ve built your own computer and developed software for it. You love the internet and all it stands for. You
hate inefficiency and waste. You were very excited when you first heard about the cloud. JavaScript is horrible
because it’s one the biggest programming abominations; Javascript is awesome because it allows you to do
powerful things, very, very quickly. And that’s what excites you the most.
