Really? Back in the day, myself and my peers weren't "backend web devs" we were just web devs. Stuff started shifting to the frontend and we all learned Backbone, Angular, React, etc because that's the way the industry went. I think a LOT of us migrated to React, maybe not completely, but who can call themselves a web developer these days without at least some experience with FE frameworks?
- hipadev23 3y agoGuess it depends on your role yeah. I'm familiar with React etc but I only use it when required, it's all so clumsy, constantly changing, and their best new ideas have existed in the ruby/python/php communities for decades. I still really limit my JS to just improving the client-side UI/UX.
