A highly compatible design with no ads, unnecessary images, videos, animations, scripts that goes straight to point delivering you exactly the information you need and nothing else? Something that's easily accessible even with old feature phones allowing older people to get information easily?
Simply something that loads instantly and just works?Who would want that?
The page at the top looks perfectly fine. It's useful, it gets the job done and it's lightweight.
almost as good as the motherfucking website. :D
I like the better motherfucking website
It's almost fine. It needs to include units for the measurements.
You sound like a backend developer.
maybe 🤣
Oh thank goodness my browser doesn’t have to download hundreds of js and assets just to use a damn calculator
Good, that we have specialists for both and nobody is advocating that everyone should be doing full-stack work... oh wait.
Full-stack development and devops: When you need an entire IT department but only want to pay for one person.
"Full-stack" is just a term invented by stingy employers who try to get 2 for the price of 1
Specialists, ah I wish I could experience that. Maybe then I would be able to see my long lost love c++ again. Instead, I must give my love freely. Javascript, Java, Kubernetes, Go, many names flit through when profit is the goal. Someday maybe, hopefully, ChatGPT will end my tired soul.
The top one's a motherfucking website, indeed.
RIP txti.es
motherfucking website
One of my all time faves!
what is wrong with this frontend? not enough ads? loads too quickly?
I would hire you as my lawyer.
No designated time zone.
No cookie banner with the worst dark patterns of UX imaginable
Honestly, no units
It's the temperature in Paris so I assume it's Celsius.
just missing some flexbox basically
love me some flexbox
that's what i call a sexy website
Also: Real websites like this don't have DRM. GOOGLE.
As a backend developer who occasionally has to work on the frontend, that top image is pretty accurate although it requires bootstrap smeared all over to pretty things up a bit. After that it will have the "Good Enough" seal of approval.
in Paris
in Paris

in Paris
What is this bloat? Trash site.
It's meant to be used like this:
curl localhost:8000/?city=Paris | grep Temperature >> TemperaturesOfTheWorld.logWho was in Paris?
I mean maybe B'Ellana if Tom was into some kinky shit but we aren't talking about Voyager right now.
What's a Paris?
Some fine gentlemen.
You can see the programmer used Copilot, who in their right mind would want to type <?php echo htmlspecialchars($city); ?> four times
God I wish weather pages were more like that first one.
I like to use this one: https://wttr.in/
You can get info for a specific city by appending it like this: https://wttr.in/newyork
Tysm
It seems to be down right now, but if i remember correctly this one also works when you are using a terminal and curl, i.E.
curl wttr.in/newyorkEdit: It works again, you can use the command as written above :D
Nice thanks.
I can make HTML look alright if I have to and it's simple enough requirements.
The real hell is making it look good in an email. Oh, you used something from the last 20 years of HTML/CSS progress? Well fuck you.
After some time toying with CSS I have decided to fuck it and whenever I need to make a website I will just either:
- Make a plain website with no virtually no styling.
- Use bootstrap or some other similar shit.
I used to like bootstrap. Still do. But it has some faults... Depending on your needs you're loading a lot of CSS you aren't using.
Bootstrap 5.3 is 59kb before gzip. 6700 lines of code. That's a lot to just apply some simple styles.
There are a ton of lighter weight alternatives nowadays.
it is a required subject at my school
No bloat, no Javashit, no problem
From my experience, devs be like:
Backend, yay! Frontend, nay! ... and I the end, not even the backend works properly.
As a java/python developer who has been hooked to front end since last 3 years I feel this is apt !.😂😂
I'd rather play pacman
A proper backend developer would have the query be a URL using the GET method with a parameter that the user can fill-in directly in the address bar and the result be a text/plain page with just a bunch of numbers separated by pipe characters (or an application/json page with that info encoded as JSON if you wanna be fancy).
This has the added advantage of working both for humans and as an API for use in machine to machine communications via HTTP.
The frontend developer made the backend so inefficient that it runs out of memory
They have this cool hack where they emulate Edge within Node.js and then run their stuff as a webpage within Edge.
why am i both
The simple form that shows 503 on submit?
Shots fired! Shots fired!
Asa backend dev, it should be a 503 error. I live in 503 land.
Looks like a perfectly fine frontend to me.
What if I want the weather in Paris, TX?
You need to fire a gun and to a really good bald eagle impression.
I do front and backend work. Biggest issue I see is people not thinking through interfaces properly (e.g. efficiencies & atomicity of operations), sanitizing inputs on both sides, error handling, and putting in the appropriate validation, authorization & testing.
My SO just said your comment applies to sex just as well 🤣🤣🤣
As a full stack dev I'd like to say that the issue I see most from backend devs isn't a lack of styling, it's their need to wrap every element in 15 motherfucking divs. They don't seem to understand that most html elements are self contained and can stand on their own.
Akshwallyyyy those are both presentation problems, eg frontend
Edit: to those downvoting me please tell me why a frontend dev would end up showing a raw error like that on a page
Front hand back hand?
