Isn't it the case for the backend and cloud too? The frontend landscape actually changed way less than the backend in the past 10 years.

The frontend landscape actually changed way less than the backend in the past 10 years.
- ch_123 3y agoHow so? I for one have been using a remarkably similar JVM stack for backend development over the last decade.
- meiraleal 3y agoThere are people using the same frontend tech for far longer than this. Your argument doesn't prove the churn in frontend is bigger than in the backend.
- fourseventy 3y agoFrontend landscape changed less than backend in the past 10 years? lol no
- meiraleal 3y agoHow it didn't? Amazon AWS alone added more changes to the backend landscape than all changes in the frontend. New NPM packages for old established frameworks isn't really churn, people complaining about it are just lazy. React is 10 years old, Angular is older and Vue is around 10 years, too. Now to the backend, how many frameworks are out there? First you have multiple cloud providers each with their own set of preferred services. Then you have the old frameworks like Rails, Django, PHP (wordpress, symfony, laravel), which changed a bit less, just like frontend but they are just a % of the backend. There are also the corporate backends like Spring and many more, which although they are still running and stable, 10 years ago Java was the obvious choice for most if not all enterprise projects but not anymore. Then you also have multiple backend providers like supabase, firebase.
- pjmlp 3y agoNo, I have been mostly using the same Java and. NET stuff like forever, even despite some heavy changes on those ecosystems.
