Imo web development in the open source field is a lot more complex than say developing in a strictly Java or .NET environment. Let's face it, most .NET or Java programmers are building some kind of CRUD app too. Over 10 years ago i have started with PHP and Perl, going from horrible spaghetti code to full fledged Symfon2 apps that use abstraction layer upon abstraction layer. I have written NodeJS servers that analyze event streams of hundreds of servers and push realtime statistics to AngularJS frontend apps. These days i am building apps in React and am exited for the prospect of React Native. I have also worked in C# and Unity3D for game programming and built realtime multiplayer 3D action games. At heart, i consider myself a programmer who uses the right tool for the job and i work primarily on the web. I am still proud of it because it's one of the most vibrant fields of tech to be in and companies pay good money for my work. Even though i did lots of PHP in my life, i never ever touched the code of Wordpress or Joomla or similar though.
