Ask HN: Why did Backend development explode in complexity?
by nwienert on Hacker News.
Follow up question: is that complexity necessary or artificially inflated? Note: this is a fun jab back at https://ift.tt/Ql7f6Jj Frontend feels like it gets incredible amounts of uninformed hatred here, and you could copy/paste many of the defensive replies here over there verbatim. My take is backend isn’t too complex, just sometimes over-complicated in specific cases. Just like frontend! I just wish there weren’t so many non-frontend developers in every frontend thread hating on it while obviously not being very experienced with it! Happy new year!
