Best: I'm a senior Front-End developer now

Worst: I'm still have no idea what I'm doing

Have you tried to look on stackoverflow?

Start learning backend techs
Then soon you will realize how better it will be if you stick with frontend only

align-self is a lie!

@praneshsekar been a back-end developer for a bit over 3 years (Java and C#)... It's the most repetitive job I've had in IT so far...

Day 1:
Search for documentation
Day 2:
There is no documentation, might as well look through the code
Day 3:
Start coding in this order:
REST API -> BL -> Storage
Day 4:
REST API -> BL -> Storage
...
Day 256:
REST API -> BL -> External Service -> Storage (so diverse, so wow)
Day 257:
REST API -> BL -> Storage
...
Day 500:
REST API -> BL -> Storage
...

Sure, sometimes something exciting happens where you implement some push notification service... Hell, even sending out a welcome email to break the flow... But for the most part it's all REST, all SQL and no fun.

The most fun I've had in backend was when I finally tried Node.js and noSQL databases... And that's when I started drifting towards Full-Stack, and now mostly Front-End. Although, I have renounced JavaScript and pretty much only use Typescript.

@N00bPancakes 😂... You reminded me of the first production website I built, which for some reason I decided was a good idea to custom style in CSS, without a base framework... I wanted to die
