This is me.
I would say I'm a fairly proficient dev overall, though on this one project I had to work the frontend. It was shit. Everything was shit.
The backend was a steaming pile of crap, and all of the implications of terrible design decisions were offloaded to the frontend. The frontend became the source of every single delay as it was where all crap started to surface. They were ignoring it, so besides frontend communication was also crap. Eventually, in line with ignoring all other issues, they sacked me.
Long story short, backend devs: treat your FE devs well.
Most disciplines get more specialized as they evolve. Full Stack goes against that trend, and this meme points at the problem with that. I don't think it's going to last.
Overspecialisation can also suck eggs. Interdisciplinary research is trendy in science for the that reason. Even I occasionally read a paper and can see they're missing some basic fact from another field or subfield that totally undercuts their result.
As a full stack developer (more experienced in back end) working on a full stack task at work I can confirm, yes, this is very true lmao.
This meme is backwards
le front end not actual work amirite
This is the dumbest trope. It's not the same kind of job, or even very coding-ish, but all the frontends I've made are horrifyingly ugly, and I hated making them.
Guys I can’t do front-end! There was a time I was getting kinda good but now there’s too much CSS tricks to learn.
I’m currently making an app for the fediverse and my back-end is amazing but I need help even beginning to make something decent for the front-end!
This is a streaming app, and just developed the chat widget which looks good in OBS, that’s a start.
But the player? Responsible layout? Aaaah it seems impossible.
It'd help if the JavaScript ecosystem could pause on inventing new frameworks every five minutes and instead focus on fixing their tooling problems.
I don’t know the developer experience with React+Vite has been amazing for me!
Fast HMR, detailed stack traces, and typing support is so cool!
Same. Honestly no issues with react+vite that I haven't been able to solve.
It’s so robust I like it a lot :)
I'd suggest finding some examples or templates that are reasonably close to what you want, and working from there. It's much easier to adapt something existing with small tweaks than building it all yourself.
If you have any concrete questions, feel free to shoot me a DM :)
Really? That’s so cool thanks :)
Yeah, gladly! I know how opaque and difficult that whole thing can be :)
