I thought I would give medium one more chance, thinking that maybe it has gotten better, it hasn’t. The author starts off with a self aggrandizing tweet from themself: > We kernel and database people think this discussion about whether frontend or backend is harder is kinda cute. you're all adorable! As someone that has a full stack web development job that also enjoys systems programming on the side, both are difficult in different ways and the only reason you could come to the conclusion that one is “harder” (whatever that even means) than the other is from a stance of ignorance. You literally do not know what you do not know. Than, the author’s only career advice is to contribute to open source. That’s great, not exactly earth shattering but not really worth the long winded article to get to that point. If the author is here, consider not starting your article with a self quoted rage-bait Tweet that adds nothing of value to the article. Maybe your intention is to capture engagement, but it leaves any reader that may have been interested in what you had to say and is a web developer disenfranchised. It’s very easy to dismiss an entire field of technology that you don’t work in without ever attempting it. It’s different to actually dive in and try to understand why there are problems and what those problems are.
