Feel free to tell about what your day looks like. I’m exploring different positions so it’d be very valuable to me. I’ve already done a few courses in C# and Python, they seem to be quite common. My goal here is to get to know this role better, for now I have limited information about it. Is it rather repetitive, or is there always something new to do? What part of it do you enjoy the most and the least? Is it true that many desktop apps are really webapps?

    It depends, and there’s a lot of variation obviously, but,

    A frontend developer writes the stuff that runs on the client,

    A backend developer writes the stuff that runs on the server (it can be repetitive–any programming can be, but it certainly needn’t be. It’s not always as flashy as frontend but there are still some exciting challenges),

    And finally, a full stack developer does whatever the company wants, and damn it, they had better enjoy it too.
