You know what’s great about SVGs? So many things! I can share the highlights, on the spot, in under 60 seconds.

If you hired me and asked what’s great about SVGs, I’d say: “They’re lightweight, work well on all devices; you can draw or animate them based on dynamic data with precision.”

..

I can develop a quick demo to show everyone, complete with estimates for finishing a milestone project in that fashion.

You know about APIs? Of course you do. Know about portals, secure forms, databases? I do that. Mostly in PHP, some Python...—and I’m game to program in any language, with occasional access to the Lead Dev.

Interfaces -- accessible, fast-loading, thought-through, tested, secure, pleasant, effective. I do a lot of that too.

The checkout part of the shopping cart, financial data dashboards, the payments mechanics of the business, the lasting emotional response of a successful purchase…. I do that too.

If you hired me, you would never see from me a cryptic, free-writing response to the “what’s great about SVGs” prompt like this one; never ever:

They’re great for watching your insider information come alive via a visualization that’s built to scale, that’s built to scale, and easy to share. The quantity, quality, patterns, and movements of value and knowledge are visualized with shapes and timelines, calculated to exact measurements, maintaining it’s ratios when the screen size changes and when the web traffic goes exponential.

Phew. I'm a professional. https://definite.dev
