I find most of what I do in web dev to be trivial to the point of mind-numbing. People smarter than me from different fields try to do what I do and often have far more difficulty than I'd expect.
Job security for me until the ML engineers work out I can probably be mostly replaced by a smarter templating engine!
- jb3689 4y agoModern web development is dumbed down by shared APIs abstracting most of the hard problems into patterns (arguably a good thing as there is way more consistency in web dev than infrastructure), but the concepts are still quite complex. Heck, React alone is a fairly complex piece of software that 90% of its users take completely foregranted let alone understand why it became a popular choice. Low-level front end is no joke
