Roadmap to becoming a web developer in 2019
I was convinced for a while there as I scrolled down that this was a joke. "Good parody!" I thought to myself. Then I realized to my horror this is actually serious.As a web developer since 1997, currently working in both the Rails & JAMstack spaces, I can assure any and all beginners out there you don't need to know anything about at least 50% of this stuff, probably closer to 70%.I also deeply resent the notion that you have to "choose a path." Depending on the task at hand and what I'm trying to accomplish, I'm working on the backend, the frontend, and/or the devops side. I jump between all of those daily. If your stack, website, or web app is so complicated that you simply have no ability to understand how it's built bottom-to-top, back-to-front, and how to deploy it easily, then either (a) you're in a massive team at a gigantic software company, or (b) you're doing it wrong!
