Tbh, any dev stack that is not web frontend is very satisfying and requires a lot of creativity (backend maybe not so mich creativity).
I think that‘s because on the web stack you are constantly fighting with an archaic stack that is mutilated by 20 layers of bullshit instead of doing directly what you want.
My job is not satisfying anymore. I used to live creating beautiful pages from scratch and totally get a kick out of working for A-clients.
However i’m currently more and more turning into a software developer. Nobody cares if it’s pretty as long as it’s functional and working noone cares.
Ofcourse it give me freedom but at least half of the stuff i’m working on is not creative in the least bit and worse; is created by AI in seconds.
Are there any developers out there who made a successful career switch?
