it kinda pisses me off that server side languages don't get the same credit as they used to since single page applications started and everyone asks what front end i use.
i be like dude i use php. then he says oh so you use jQuery for front end.
*facepalm*

Well i guess its just because suddenly lots of ppl who were just dabbling with js to get something done on frontend side discovered they could actually code shit and have narrow perspective.
I dont think its especially big group but there are certainly ppl like this.
Plus Js with its frameworks and SPAs is all the rage right now.
Plus there is a lot going on there so its easy to get pulled in.
