To be honest pretty much any (basic) development is nowadays, especially web development, theres tons of frameworks, tons of wrappers/sites that make things pretty drag & drop at this point - web development isn't some advanced C programming and isn't anymore some secret club as you might want it to be? I saw some challenge once where the one guy used excel some drag & drop sites and some other tools to create everything, I think somebody had linked it here iirc.

@JoshBent I can't fathom where Excel comes up in web development. Can someone please link to that rant?
-
@avalanche it was used as a database, maybe someone has that link still

@JoshBent Oh! Google sheets as database using their API. Understood.
Thanks. -
@avalanche no, he was actually abusing the scripting to create some sort of server and handle insertion and reads from an excel sheet iirc

Long time frustration
My close friend wanted to focus on machine learning and AI. in summer he did some research and figured out it is difficult to get those jobs. Now he is learning Angular 2. And applying for web development.
I am tired of people getting into web just because everything else seems difficult to them.
I just don't like people who think web is easy. And take it for granted.
I know comparing to machine learning Web does have an easy entry level barrier. But tired of devs, undermining web development complexity.
I think world thinks
Web is so easy that you can do it even if you hate it.
