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?

You're looking at a description from a pure backend dev?

A pure backend dev will only be a role in big companies and projects that have enough work or scale where such a specificity is possible and worth it.

Most developers may work on backend, but as part of the project, and shift roles according to needs and tasks.
