I agree. Show me a Jr Dev who has a general understanding of how computers work, understands data structures, some algorithms, and maybe even a bit of experience with a low/mid level language and I'll gladly hitch my wagon to them

This is just like, my opinion, man but I think titles are just food for our egos. I think developers should focus on two things: 1) doing work that you enjoy. 2) take a good long hard honest look at yourself and determine your value, then f

I agree. Sometimes it's easier to just return the record. It starts to suck when you get an array back and you have to loop through all n+1 results to query each additional record instead of just getting what you need in 1 request.

Exactly. My understanding is the API accommodates the frontend data which accommodates the design which accommodates the users needs.

I agree with this take. I work on a small team (2 backend devs, 2 frontend). The we are always arguing about the API. The frontend devs want the data for their components pre-formatted in 1 API call. The backend team wants to run a SQL quer
