Have you ever actually met backend Linux engineers? They are, typically anyways, a very salty and unhappy bunch. I definitely include myself in that lot as something I'm working on.
- zem 11mo agoyeah, I work on commandline based compilers and code analysis tools and I'm very happy doing it! apart from the work itself being interesting, I find it really nice to just have to care about stdin, stdout, and filesystem access. I enjoy working on desktop gui apps too, but at least to my mind IPC and networking add a layer of unpleasantly error-prone concerns to deal with, and web apps dial that up to eleven.
