You’re so right! Tech has become a job! It takes so much time to build something without bugs and with correct error management, that a new exciting feature is just yet-another-project.

And every new NPM dependency feels like installing a Russian hacker’s “free library” on my computer.

It kinda makes me wish I had dedicated web dev experience. Web seems to be a lot more excited about features, much less interested in DIYing algorithms, very reuse friendly, and generally positive about tech, preferring a nonprivate app over no app at all, etc.

They still take security seriously, but not to the point of avoiding widely trusted dependencies or trying to push back on tech in general and use more analog things

From a back-end position, front-end seems more enjoyable. Then from front-end, everyone still wants to move to be a designer ;)

I have to admit that, after starting my own product, I’ve found my thing (doing features with a bit of backend and a bit of product management…).
