As a backend developer- we make everything work. We are the glue behind the scenes.
Everything goes through our code.
We are god.
That sounds nice :D
Perhaps, but don't forget every god has had to learn a few things the hard way.
Many will cherry pick or apply self-serving interpretations of your pronouncements.
Many false prophets will arise.
Many will rail against your very existence and create competing systems.
Eventually, you will be considered archaic and replaced by the gods of the new thing.
Tongue in cheek, obviously, but not too firmly. :j
Although- do keep in mind- Front-end developers are cool too. They possess the reality stone, and can change reality to see how they see fit.
They speak mystical languages such as javascript, react, etc... and they were responsible for building the world as you see it. (We just created the physics which makes the world work)
It is, until something fails in production and you're the only ones to be blamed. :)
