As a frontend developer, I've spent countless hours trying to develop beautiful user interfaces, ensuring seamless user experiences, and diving deep into the intricacies of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Frontend development has been my passion, and my creative outlet. But lately, I find myself pondering a question that many in the field may have also asked themselves: Is frontend development enough, or should I learn backend development too?
I can never undermine frontend dev, considering that the skills required for frontend development are essential, diverse and ever-evolving. However, my struggle is with the curiosity that I often have regarding what happens behind the scenes. I'm intrigued by the idea of handling server-side logic, databases and APIs.
As a frontend developer, sometimes backend development seems like a mystery. I feel like a waiter in a restaurant, eager to know how the food I serve is prepared in the kitchen.
In a sense I feel limited, especially when dealing with complex data-driven applications. This realization has led me to question whether learning backend development could enhance my skillset and career prospects.
