"how would they complain" is lowkey brilliant

@CZpersi

"I removed the clutter, so now all our customers can easily place their order by directly interacting with the API via command line."

@zperk13

If it's just API calls, the user can make the frontend look however they want. Ultimate customizability

@JamieBliss

"why would you leave vim" gods those people are real

@lrfiv

"Users will call the API to order food." Haha, im dead now.đź’€

@kaseywahl

"Customers can order food by calling the API" is the most backend developer thing I've ever heard. I've heard backend guys say comparable things without batting an eye.

@minnesotasteve

Postman is a perfectly valid UI

@pastashack3517

"User interface? But I'm the only one who should interface with the code."

@chwydev

"how would they complain, they can't contact us" and "why are you exiting, stay there" are gold

@KeithMoon1980

As a UI developer, this is accurate.

@absurt11

"Why are you exiting [Vim]?" - truly the words to live by

@sunnohh

Throw in “if you read my documentation you would have known not to call it” that same dev “I haven’t written any documentation for it either”

@SlickNutter

Funnily enough, the only developer I've ever known to use (neo)vim was a front-end developer.

@spencerk5840

Ui just slows everything down, leave it efficient and utilitarian!

@mauricebenink

As a backend developer. I feel very misrepresented. 

1. i dont even go anywhere near fronted. That stuff is a mess and i dont wanna touch it with a 10 foot pole. 
2. We would never delete fronted. We would make the backend headless (separate api) so we dont have to see or look at the fronted and that we dont have to help frontend anymore with techinal implementations
3. Who uses vim? I mean i know how to use it but thats just coincidence.

@davidkong8493

“Why would customer need to schedule reoccurring orders, they could just use cron”

@BrianHaddad

lol "Why would you exit? Stay there." Perfect delivery of hard truths.

@shadebug

I’m reminded of when I worked dev support at a company and I was training up the regular support team to deal with dev stuff. The point at which I was walking them through how the API worked and they said “wait, this is much better than the website” probably should have been a warning

@generessler6282

Real back enders do front end, too, when they can. I do that enough to make me totally respect front end people who live there all the time and have become jedi masters at it.

@josephvictory9536

"Just a bunch of buttons right" unironically this is the hardest, most annoying part of my project. 

Im in the hot seat managing an app and the backend is the most sensible thing. But frontend is hell and holding up everything. Not in any way due to fault of the devs but because the execs including me cannot make up our mind about the style.

I wish it was easier but its the look and feel that most decides whether a user stays or continues beyond our service partners. Worse is im a backed dev before this stint in management. Every day is more soul crushing than the last and i want with every fiber of my being for us to just settle on a design so the backend devs have something to work with outside of making basic as hell API functions. And front end devs arent twiddling thumbs or designing styling for the admin panel. 

Im confident the project will be fine but holy i will NEVER judge frontend again. They are monks.
