This is an interesting question. And I want to give a thoughtful answer. The reality is that the backend has all of these same problems. They have also experienced an explosion in complexity. I think the outcomes are different mostly because they have more support. The reality is that cloud vendors have assumed a ton of the complexity and the risk on the backend. So engineers aren't drowning to the same extent. https://mastodon.social/@floby/112107065645789780
