When the manager decides you're the one who should build a website and you're not the front-end developer at the company 🤬🖕

I was hired as an ios-dev and now I have to setup high scalable infrastructures, write backends and frontends...

This is one of the beauties of our profession! Tell them you need some time to look into frontend frameworks - it's paid education and you will be able to call yourself a full-stack developer afterwards. Your future pay will increase, you will have more opportunities, you become a better developer all-round..

What's not to like?

@devdiddydog Having to develop a frontend seems like a pretty big downside, but then that's just my opinion as a backend/infrastructure dev.

@EmberQuill Yep, it's not necessarily for everyone. But it's a good challenge, and frontend work is a lot more technically challenging / rewarding now than it used to be.

Kind of seems like a dev is a dev and if they make that decision they’re training a dev and need to accept a reasonable deadline involving the training of a dev with options of support in his environment

@Demolishun dude I’m struggling more likely then anyone here again but I know the difference between the proper way of doing things and the way corporate pricks act

He’s worried they’ll push on him to meet the time standards of a senior in something he’s unfamiliar with

@Demolishun that sounds like it would take longer lol

@Demolishun however I do agree that one should have exposure to both

I’ve never worked in a scenario where I didn’t do both

@Demolishun oligarchy more than despotism hen

And corrupt lackeys that seem rather self destructive

@Demolishun bet they wish they’d listened to me

@devdiddydog that doesn't work when they say the deadline is "yesterday". I already knew enough about frontend dev to create simple website, but some things should be left to specialists; that ensures deadlines are met, or increases the chances of it happening.

I'm also not really interested in frontend development, as I spend most of my time doing backend and devops work.

I appreciate the optimism though! :)

@Demolishun WordPress is 100 times better than the CMS I'm being forced to use :'(

@MrEvilDev Then your real issue is impossible deadlines set by an incompetent PM! And if frontend dev is not of interest as well I understand your frustration.
