The Great Backend-Frontend Blame Transfer

Your first day onboarding be like: "Here's a whiteboard full of 47,000 interconnected boxes that somehow represent our 'simple' microservices architecture. Don't worry, it gets worse!" The absolute AUDACITY of calling that nightmare flowchart an "overview" and then threatening to go into MORE detail is peak corporate sadism. That poor new hire is about to discover that the "little more detail" involves twelve legacy systems held together by duct tape, prayers, and a Perl script from 2003 that nobody dares to touch because the guy who wrote it retired to Bali.

The evolution of a programmer's hairline perfectly correlates with their tech stack choices. Start in UI/UX with a full head of hair and optimistic dreams. By the time you're doing Frontend, you've seen enough CSS bugs to lose a bit. Full Stack JS and Mobile devs? That's when the real receding begins. C#/Java programmers have accepted their fate along with their verbose syntax. DBAs are too busy optimizing queries to notice their optimization problems up top. But DevOps/SysAdmin? Those 3AM production failures have claimed most of the hair. And if you've reached Embedded programming, congratulations! You've traded your hairline for the ability to make a microcontroller blink with only 12 bytes of memory.

You wrote an entire module just for this question?! - 11684 Feb 10, 2013 at 21:34 11684 Yes, I had the same problem as the poster, and all I could fine were horrible solutions for invoking .net or Java from Python. - mikemaccana Feb 11, 2013 at 10:20

Backend developers faced with the choice between writing custom SQL queries or using an ORM that generates 25 unnecessary joins? *Grabs entire deck* After 5 years of optimizing database performance, you learn that sometimes it's easier to just write the damn query yourself than debug why your fancy framework is pulling 200MB of data for what should be a simple lookup.
