Yeah I guess I’m old. Seems like everything is called “web dev” these days.
I was answering a question somewhere related to something like C/C++ and Operating System level stuff. Someone replied asking where I learned “web dev.” I would consider that general programming, or possibly systems programming, but certainly not “web dev.”
I’m an elitist asshole and I hate that people say “react dev” when really it’s “web dev that uses react”
react devs are not web devs. they’re special
There are also react devs creating the windows 11 start menu.
Is this distinction really all that useful?
I suppose you could write a react app that doesn’t use “the web”? But you still might just say they are a react developer.
I think the web part refers to web technologies.
