    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.

        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.”
