To my defence, I wrote this post the very night I installed and fired up everything Vue-related. Having taken a step back now, it might sound a bit too theatrical. I've accomodated to the framework pretty quick, which either says a lot about Vue or that I have overreacted to the change in the first place.

I must return the note to you, though — do you, as a non-web developer I suppose, actually learn a new language everyday? I suppose you take Haskell from your experience but it may be an emblematic example only. The web development world (esp. frontend) has its own amount of newness (and hotness, to be frank) every so often. Not to play the "What kind of dev is the best" game here, just interested in discussing.

Also, I am genuinely interested in the usage of "web developer" vs. "software engineer". Why is it that you use a different term, e.g. why not "software developer"? As an engineering school student, web development is only part of my skills (and only its basics are taught in class, actually) and I see myself as a software engineer more than anything. Yet, you seem to exclude web development from software engineering. Am I just having the wrong definition?

Thanks
