Is Backend better than Frontend On the long term?and how to Learn correctly?
I am 16 years old and I've learned C++ (although I forgot most of it), Python, and I am currently learning the Flask framework.
I'm interested in web development, and I was planning to become a full-stack developer, but I have heard that this path isn't good in the long term because it forces you to work two jobs (without including DevOps) for the salary of one, besides the pressure, and you don't get to learn one path very well. Furthermore, most of the companies that hire full-stack developers are small-scale enterprises that do not have the money to hire two or three people. This made me change my mind to become a back-end developer and take advantage of AI to help me on the front-end side to build my portfolio.
I have two problems about my future career and one about my way of learning:
1- I don't know if I really want to be a back-end developer.
2- Is the back-end path rewarding and stable?
3- My biggest problem is that I don't know how to measure my efficiency in learning and what free resources I could use to learn (I have watched some courses on YouTube, and in most of them, the instructor doesn't focus on making you understand what the code really does).
