From my experience, devs be like:
Backend, yay! Frontend, nay! ... and I the end, not even the backend works properly.
So in the end, it doesn't even matter?
I TRIED. SO. HARD.
BUT IN THE END, THE SERVER THREW AN ERROR
“Hey Bob, you did add a retry when you added that call to service X?
Umm, no?
Oh for fuck’s sake!”
All the fucking time.
I'm ops so I just get to enjoy how confused they get when their shit only works locally.
This is why I got all of our devs to start building with the target of a Docker container in mind.
And for the ones who still won't or can't wrap their brains around Docker, I run their shit through a Github Actions workflow that spits out their ugly baby as a Docker container. In the end, I don't give a shit what it is, your Rube-Goldberg piece of shit is getting stuffed into a Docker container.
"It works on my machine!" Yeah, well, your machine is now everyone's machine thanks to the magic of containers. Now fix your broken shit so PagerDuty doesn't call me at 3am again. Fuck.
I much rather frontend that backend, I like making things that people actually see.
