Ask HN: Transitioning from Front end to Back end
Hello HN - long time lurker, first time poster.<p>In my 4-5 years as a developer I&#x27;ve always been in the frontend world, I have it enjoyed it and continue to enjoy it; however, I feel that the pool for frontend jobs is becoming more and more smaller. I don&#x27;t mind keeping up with the latest tech, in fact that helps me my ADHD - new things always entice me. I like to think that I am good having joined a big tech company if that means anything.<p>Still I feel way to overspecialized, I would like to become &quot;full-stack&quot; with a frontend focus. I have read up on backend system design and find that interesting, lots of reading but no implementations (I have no real experience).<p>I would like to learn more about backend on the side, how would you guys go about doing this? Tutorial hell?<p>tldr; spent all my time on frontend, would like to learn backend, how should I go about doing this?
