Discussion on: Should I become a Front-End or Back-End developer?

I don't think the problem is the person just starting out or looking to learn. Personally, I'm far less interested in webdev front/back end than I am in embedded software/firmware, OS development, and desktop apps for video editing/gfx/manipulation of video. Those are the things I want to get into. But everywhere I look I can only really find webdev stuff. Most bootcamps are focused on that, most teach yourself paths are focused on that. Is there an Odin Project for this? Is there something less guided but still follow-able? If so please point the way!

Oh most definitely! Instead of looking for "development" tutorials, try searching for IoT (internet of things), arduino programming, raspberry pi programming, video game programming, or systems programming.
