Some people in the comments are drawing the wrong inference from this video. I think he's basically trying to explain that you shouldn't get overly fixated on the MERN stack alone. Instead, you should explore other technologies and patterns so that you can choose the best tools and techniques for the job. The idea is not to use JavaScript everywhere, assuming it's the only solution for everything.
Brother you're doing gods work here. Such high quality content delivered in such an efficient manner. I watched your HTTP video and everything clicked, why I was using a CORS middleware in all of my express APIs. Keep up the excellent work. I was using it without understanding what it was
Just discovered your channe last week & I really appreciatong your consistency and mix of opinionated video along with informational ones. Keep them coming.
Great video bro... I don't know how your videos started popping up on my feed but i feel like its a blessing. I am definitely the guy that falls under your critical points. I have just delved into backend recently because it seemed more interesting than frontend for me. however, as i only knew javascript, i could get into backend with that. But i could still grasp the idea of fundamental principles and points of backend that you talk about. Keep up the great work.
I am a full stack dev who knows Postgres, react, express. When I asked myself why backend is needed, the answer was - data protection, authentication, heavy calculations, validations, caching. There may be others but these came to my mind. I think, you had a bad experience with someone who works in MERN and created this rant video because of it.
@@turbulantarchitect5286 Haha, no need to get riled up. The way this video is structured is, if you watch the video and relate, then it's for you, if not, then call me an idiot and move on with your life.
@@sriniously What part of my comments makes you think I got riled up? I think, you are very angry about other people in the industry. Hence, every interactions is negative for you.
Thanks for this video , i have always been curious and wanted to learn and go deep in web development and software development in general , but making money is one of main things that makes it tough for me to make descision so i want your advice apart from mern and to solidufy my backend knowledge is java a good option cause i also think it from the perspective of demand and money in the market so what do you say ? Or should is just learn python or golang without the money factor involved
I tried writing my backend in both Go and Node . I found node to be easy to use , but there is so few resources to utilize with node .. I was so concerned of mistakenly using a sync function within the event loop . On the other hand GO didin't have something like express and have to implement various functions from scratch ... I think using node is good for startups and small code bases and that goes the same for Mongo as well ... But if performance & security or optimizing databases are the main concern GO , java & Postgress are better choices. But the job market for MERN is huge in compare to GO and Java also the later prefer experinced dev's over freshers .
I learnt node from bootcamp and build various projects. Learnt flask from the course curriculum of college and build really a good project. For the job perspective now majorly learning the django core and rest framework to actually crack a job as a backend engg. Learning various backend technology and building projects has taught many important backend principles. And i never got excited by building CRUD Api or writing my first Hello World program. It was all abstracted. I dont claim i have knowledge about inherent system. Is it best to learn Go ?? i am excited but as same time i dont have any professional experience. Whatever i know is from youtube, bootcamps, reading some blogs, asking chat gpt and actually thinking about code or brainstorming. Should i learn Go at this stage as a begginer ?
@@praulayar4805 I would say learn whichever is easier at this point, once you start building stuff in one language, you can worry about which one to choose. At this point, focus should be code velocity.
as a fresher you must learn mern becz its a base and at the frontend is only develop on js and ts learn first MERN then you can easily implement web concepts in other language. A good developer's thinking don't affected by language

What is the job prospects of go developer? I have worked on java for around 4 gears and in the last 3 years i am mostly writing typescript and javascript, Now i am in dilemma to choose between java. And go lang as primary stack for backend first, Go lang i love working with but when i see job market, i can see clearly that java has more jobs Whats your thought on this?
Bro critiques Js frameworks & himself is using excalidraw which is written in Ts (backend) & undermining frontend, Plz use assembly for everything or even better spin ur own ASML & make computers from sand, These are the patterns which can be taught or learnt while building, Problem isn't Js, it's the rudamentary & borrowed superiority complex against newbies, Try systems programming for once and you'll understand why Microsoft who invented .NET uses electron based VScode & a turing complete TS compiler. I still hate MongoDB though😅
Bro, I'm not your typical backend developer with a superiority complex against frontend people. It's not a backend vs front-end debate. And even if it was, I would be on the front-end's side. I have been working for the last 4 years and still work as a frontend engineer. And yes I'm aware of excalidraw, I have spent hours studying the codebase over the years. Thanks for watching it though. I see you related with the MongoDB thing. You would also relate with the other parts if you ever get into those scenarios. I'm lucky enough to get these insights because my work spans across hackathons/web3 projects/freelancing combined with my full time job as a full stack dev.
@sriniously I've seen same opinions on us webdevs by systems & infra & game devs😁, There are ways how things work, which are not always ideal, Js get's unnecessary hate, just look at the messy state of app development in ios or Androids (jetpack & other shit as google decided to write apps in java then went on damage control through Kotlin) Those who are entering the field via mern are still very valuable as compared to earlier devs (you might know 👍)
Sample space of your talk is very less. So this wake up call according to me is mainly for the freshers who are doing nodejs or js, this is what I believe.
don't spread false news, as there is still demand in node. But yes,there is a saturation in mern, meaning that it is not completely dead, still it's there and companies are using it.
