I'm an Angular frontend Dev and the backend is python. I don't know python. Manager deployed me to a the project as a full stack. I said I don't know python and still I got the project lol. They hired another python guy to do the backend. Now my manager said me to they committed to the client that the full stack Dev (which I Am) will learn Python eventually (then maybe fire in the future the python guy because I will be the full stack God) The thing is I hate python and only want to do angular.

Now I'm forced to learn Python with this big code base backend. Talking about multiple hats. Maybe soon I will also be the DevOps guy lol have you experienced this before?

    I experience this all the time. I do some work on some piece of legacy shit and suddenly I’m the legacy shit expert and get lumped with all that crap—even though I was just helping out.

    Now I’m much more cautious. Classic ASP? How quaint? Looks too hard for me. I’ll get back to Rust...

    Ah, I see you're one of those devs.

    I hate the forced whitespace of Python for large code blocks, give me { } any day, I enjoy Python for being a quick and dirty slap together in times of need.

    @heyheni problem is this is not simple. This is big complex python code then when assigned with a task with quite fast deadline. Programming is easy. Fast deadlines is what makes it hard.

    It should be the other way around, love python hate angular or JS in general.
