Hi, I normally contract in MSBI, Oracle, .Net/.Net Core, focusing on a property platform at the moment. Have also been working hard on upgrading my limited company website too.
Would say it like this. There is huge value in data. Set based access is powerful. It goes down to the point of storing a query outside of a compilable application versus having to rebuild a codebase. Yes, there are many smart ways around this but to discount database modelling seems incorrect.
My main concern is the risk of "throwing the baby out with bathwater."
Am certain this wasn't your intention and even if it was, no harm done. Just to blow your mind.
I believe that object oriented programming was started with plato and universals. Now we think that oop is outdated and yet we would not say this because the significance of understanding it is so emphatic to deny it is ridiculous. If we could even begin to imagine universals we would be ahead of almost everybody in today's world.
but at least I understood that data modeling is important and if frontend devs wanna do more fullstack stuff, they should definitly look into data modeling. 🤓
Thanks for the nice articles. Also, Interesting discussion about the importance of database (SQL / NoSQL). But when blockchain/DLT becomes more widely used, then probably the way we see the database would be different. There won't be any centralised database anymore. Everything is distributed on blockchain.
Furthermore, we probably won't need hosting server anymore to host our application, since everything is hosted on IPFS. If cryptocurrency becomes the main payment method, then we wouldn't need payment gateway anymore. The backend logics can go to frontend and/or go to smart contract sitting on blockchain.
The only reason we need backend server/app and SQL database in my opinion is just security/privacy. Security in term of authentication can probably still be done through crypto wallet / public key. But security in term of storing the private key, for that probably backend server and centralised database would still be needed.
Just my 2 cents.

Don't be sorry. I appreciate your honest thoughts, so thank you for your answer!
I'm totally with you here, I don't think backend development is obsolte, I just think that it's different from how it was 10 years ago.

Deep, but anyway. Had to be said. 😊
I don't know if I understood all that you said 🙃
