Who's shit-talking? They are all rough jobs in one way or another, and have their strengths and weaknesses. Some Devs specialise because the product/company is big, others generalise because the product/company is tiny and they barely have enough money to pay you, let alone seperate frontend and backend Devs, so you have to moonlight as a food van cook to make ends meet and also you live in the food van and sleep on the floor and stay warm from the exhaust of the meat fridge, every waking moment is a living nightmare and you haven't had a proper shower in weeks because the stalls in the gym are always packed with horny gay men who are terrible kissers and don't understand that you just want to be held for a minute jfc
I tried really hard to get a named CloudFlare tunnel working with a domain name I registered (I share my personal home videos with a non technical family member in Italy) but couldn't get it working no matter what I tried.
We can go further. We could take away your fancy "URL"s and just use IP addresses for navigation.
Heck, we could do away with TCP/IP altogether and network over serial. It's a perfectly functional protocol with several baud rates to choose from. I like ol' reliable 9600, but I sometimes dabble in 115200 when I'm feeling adventurous.
They don't have to be corpses.
