I did do web work for a long time, but I grew tired of it, so these days I just do contract work on legacy systems and platform modernizations. Some of those systems may have a web UX, some do not. But the work is more about refactoring architectures to get off brittle tech that nobody knows anymore, and move on to tech stacks where you can actually find talent to run it. It is a different experience to be sure - I work on stuff that nobody likes and where most people are surprised it still exists. And my goals tend to be about shutting down, not growing. I succeed with every server we kill, every product we turn off, every customer we get rid of.
