comment What kind of positions could a beginning developer expect to qualify for in five years?
@PeterAjtai I think what I'm saying is that any effort will pay dividends and often will distinguish you from the crowd.

comment What kind of positions could a beginning developer expect to qualify for in five years?
@PeterAjtai Keeping up to date and developing myself is probably my main "hobby". It's easy to find the time if you're committed to it. Even half an hour a day doing something will compound over time. I probably spend an hour a day reading articles and blog posts from various sources (whilst waking up, lunch break, before I go to sleep, etc) and I average a book a month on top of that (mostly during my commute). Add on dabbling with a new language/framework for a few hours over a weekend and you get a lot of payback for what isn't much effort.

comment Do backend developers care what their code looks like in the frontend?
"do pure backend developers care what their code ends up looking like in the frontend?" The UI is how your code looks, not the appearance of your actual code. Read the question.

God no! I mean I don't care what the UI my service supports looks like (that much). How the hell do you end up as a backend programmer if you don't value clean, maintainable code?
