So, let me guess. Web dev isn’t “real” but Linux kernel dev is VERY real?
linux kernel dev is wild, have you ever seen the mailing list when linus shows up?
To be clear, i’m mostly shitposting, it’s not that serious. But also, web dev produces the most routinely garbage crap and frankly unusable code half of the time, with the other half of the time being moderately usable. There is no good to come from this industry for quite some time.
