The only real developers are those that write everything in machine code, manually. Everyone else is a fake developer, tbh.
If you don't feed the CPU binaries directly, you're using abstractions, which means you're being hand-held by someone else's work that simplified things for you. And that's fake development.

If you don't word vomit unintelligible syllables, you're using a linguistic framework, which geeba you're being gabba by someone else's gooba that gibba things for gubba. And that's fake gooba geeba gabba gibba gubba.

I hope you can read sarcasm, because I was sarcastically reflecting on what Kaiser said. It's a commonplace attitude in the world of programming that if you're a backend guy, you da man and those frontend guys are a bunch of clueless simps.

There is some basis for this attitude, in the sense that when people first pick up programming, they tend to go for the shiny parts that yield immediate results, so frontend stuff. But there are also experienced front-end programmers who would run circles around average backend devs. Simply doing backend doesn't make you some kind of modest hero that has to bear the weight of everything, like Kaiser's post implies. In fact, lots of people go for backend once they get faced with the hard parts of frontend dev. They just can't handle some aspects of frontend, so they'd rather go be heroes that write Python scripts or Java boilerplate and think the world runs on their shoulders.

Though, tbh, your gibba gubba gibberish is off the mark. Words are not abstractions of syllables, as you imply. My sarcastic argument was about abstractions built on top of abstractions, that at some point become extremely abstracted from what they're abstracting. :chinese:

Yeah sure. Meanwhile you fail to see my post wasn't even serious. I'm not judging front-end developers, was just joking around. You're taking all this way too literally

It's fine dude, I didn't take that too seriously. Just saying that this myth of the clueless frontend guy does exist and sometimes is true.
But, you know, it's just a myth and there are also experienced frontend devs or devs that can do both front and backend, but might choose to do one of them depending on which jobs they find or which pays them more.

I know a guy from Australia who nets 10.000 bucks per month by doing jabbascript (angular). He bought 4 houses so far from doing that.

It's a simple language, I don't get what irks people so much about this ez pz language. It's usually memes that were born out of not knowing implicit conversions and stuff like that.

On the other hand, there are ppl doing PHP as a day job for a few hundred bucks/month. So, there's a pretty deep hell out there.

Well, do PayPal take themselves seriously? Even their backend is built in node, so go figure.

I don't think people who do frontend and backend both do the backend at a deep level. they just know how to make api or log some stuff, but they sure as hell don't know how to design infrastructure or make complex decisions that come with the job.

I can actually code very well. It's not very hard to do at all.

Probably, but idk how they can. Imagine your devs being so tunnel visioned they choose js for your backend :lol:

There are backends even running on fucking ruby or some other slow joke, so, sure, why not.
