"Full-stack" is just a term invented by stingy employers who try to get 2 for the price of 1
12 0 ReplySpecialists, 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.

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.

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.
31 0 ReplyAfter 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.
21 0 ReplyI 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.

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.

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.
0 0 ReplyI 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.
