I'm young, 23 years old, but I've been developing for the past 10 years.

The world of development went from a 2D puzzle into a 5D holographic puzzle.
The simplest of projects is now using hundreds if not thousands of packages, we went from separation of concerns to a mixture of everything.

I'm a non-conformist, but sadly, not conforming to the modern, backwarded, standards of web will leave you out of the field.
That's why I love backend the most. A place where logic reigns and frameworks aren't introduced every two weeks.

"The world of development went from a 2D puzzle into a 5D holographic puzzle."

That is a great analogy that describes the feeling for me very good! :)

I am a non-conformist in a lot of ways too, but indeed, sometimes you're left with no choice. If three of your colleagues want to go one direction and that direction actually offers a lot of benefits, why would I not conform to that?
