To me, webdev seems like the most "unfun" morass of bullshit in the software industry. It's fundamentally awful technologies stacked on top of each other in rickety spires in fits of money-hungry, Silicon Valley ADHD. The modern web is gross, technologically, and abusive, ethically.
If it's all you live and breathe, I'd probably feel the way you do.
- ryandvm 6y agoAgree 100%. There are a lot of amazing things you can do with modern computers. More possibilities than ever before. But if you're going to constrain yourself to "state of the art" front-end development, you're basically signing up for wizard school that involves constantly learning new arcane spells from an ever-changing line-up of frameworks that are endlessly re-inventing the wheel just so we can shoehorn everything into a browser DOM designed in the 90s. That little slice of computing is indeed "not fun anymore".
