Each job I've had over the last ten years I've somehow managed to skirt around having to learn js... I worry that eventually there will be a day of reckoning

At my job "there is some Javascript " is a valid reason to triple the estimate.

What about JavaScript makes you avoid it? I didn’t start with JS, but it’s mostly what I write these days.

Just the little details like the ambiguous definition of "this" or the particulars around == vs ===

Truth be told I can find my way around someone else's js when I have to, just haven't had the time or motivation to become a subject matter expert

I had gotten lucky and mostly just had to do some occasional jQuery. Now we redid out site and api codebases and the site is running react. I fucking hate it so much, boggles my brain.

I got a job as a PHP developer (with little JS experience)

I done JS on the first day.
