A thought on Front-End and Back-End

Didn’t know how to illustrate this post, so I give you something appetizing

I think the Front-End and the Back-End are deeply important, both of them are creating the experience, the reality.

But the Front-End is merely more equivalent to the nature, it’s the feeling you have when you are touching something soft, when you’re seeing something beautiful, when you are feeling the temperature, the humidity of air, the warmth on your skin, when you’re smelling a great perfume, or when you’re liking a great color, a great landscape. Your website’s experience is the same, it’s just an hiking through the creation of the Front-End team and developers.

The Back-End is just different, it’s something you live, but you don’t see (and you can’t), it’s nearly like Forces, e.g. Gravity, you know, you have no idea of its presence, but you know it’s the way the Nature is turning, you’re just knowing that is normal, and that is really important for your life, we need it. But in fact, we don’t know exactly how it works till someone is talking about it and explaining it to us.

Through this reasoning, Programmer(s) are like god(s), they’re creating worlds.

While Hackers, they’re like Physicists, they’re understanding how it works, and trying sometimes to exploit it.


Sorry for this post, it’s useless, but when I took the dog for a walk, I had this thought. It is not helping for anything, but wanted to share.

Just a random quote to show you I’m respecting your free time and you didn’t click for nothing:

“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.”

George Bernard Shaw

If you have a thought, share it with me, with us !
