When I read about career stuff, it seems like it's always front end vs. back end.

I guess mobile devs do not share their career stuff for some reason, though I'd really want to see them.

Are there not a lot of jobs in mobile development?

There is PWA and stuff so some companies don't even bother with creating a native app because of its costs (and it's x2 because of Android and iOS). Also, there's React Native which allows JS devs to create "native" apps for both Android and iOS without a lot of knowledge of Android/iOS development.

Are they extra hard to get into?

Probably a bit harder than front/back-end because of reasons above.

I guess you could find some Android/iOS devs there but I don't see a lot of them, I feel like it's mostly front/back-end and devops there on dev.to.
