If you have front-end and back-end separate, you're doing web development wrong.
But what if it isn't just a basic website? Most sites I've worked on required things like content management, or auditing stuff, a bunch database stuff, SAML single sign on etc.
Most languages end up being better at some parts of the stack, like Java for overcomplicated enterprise BS backends. It seems bad to "fight" that trend.
Totally agree. I've been using blazor server + Claude for project and it just removes all the stupid complexity of having react + a rest API.
Can we post a single phrase as a HN article? This is one of the main problems with web development nowadays, nobody gets this right... to the point that it's popular to criticize a company trying to hire a single person for both holes as "cheapening out".
Also, this is a really obvious thing. It's unbelievable how the main way people organize is the other way around.
