the oh so well kept secret of the software and services (surrounding it) industry that people seem to think is worth paying money for.
Yet time after time these paid software companies produce the most vile awful, dysfunctional, and garbage software (and services) that have ever been created. While somehow a group of people who aren’t being paid, and aren’t doing this for any sort of reason other than “why not” manage to create the most functional software ever, while also managing to somehow catch the single biggest potential software vulnerability in this decade (other than wannacry) purely because ssh has slightly sus behaviors when running the infected payload.
Web dev solves a simple UI pattern kinda elegantly for rapid development. I don’t disagree with where you’re coming from but I think your last take away is a mischaracterization of why it’s used.
So, let me guess. Web dev isn’t “real” but Linux kernel dev is VERY real?
I mean, I don’t take issue with what SEEMS like your base case: Capitalism is crap and money is a silly game we all play, but what I’m reading / understanding from your statement is that the millions of people sending E-mail, writing documents, and managing spreasheets using web based applications aren’t doing “real” work as well?
Not arguing, just desperately struggling to understand where you’re coming from and what you’re trying to say in concrete terms.
I worked at a large financial company that you’ve probably heard of. Unit tests were basically non-existent, code reviews were a joke, and I saw some of the worst code I’ve ever seen come from senior engineers.

Please stop doing web dev, it isn’t real.

i smell cope :)
Funny enough I work in the opposite end of the spectrum with embedded firmware. But even I can see the value of webdev.

Because writ large we are all under staffed and it we need to cut something it’s QA.
Good.
Cheap.
Fast.
Businesses have shown time and time again they choose cheap and fast. Good is a problem for the future.
MVP baby!
I just wanted to take the time to thank you, personally.
you are welcome my friend, ignore the fact that i don’t know fuckshit about web dev, let’s just pretend i’m omniscient :)
There is not much to know.
