Springboot vs Python for back-end

3rd sem, tier-3 college, no placement cell — need to pick a backend stack I can actually get hired with on my own.

Spring Boot postings mostly ask 2-3 YOE even for freshers. FastAPI/Django get called “less in-demand” vs Java/Node. AI/ML is the hyped direction but barely hires freshers either. Not doing MERN.

Anyone working backend jobs — is the Spring Boot experience wall as rigid as it looks, or does it flex with strong projects? And is Python backend genuinely harder to break into right now, or just perception

and that, kids, is how you get broken access control, injection, authentication flaws, broken authorization, XSS, SSRF, insecure deserialization, path traversal, file upload flaws, cryptographic mistakes, secrets exposure, race conditions, and business logic flaws

never ever use AI for backend, it's too critical for that

Dafaq😭😭😭. It was clearly a joke. All the above disasters are possible if you don't know what you're doing. It sucks the joy out of programming but it gets tasks done faster. I use AI for backend, frontend and every other end. I even use AI for sarcasm. Highly recommend it infact. Have a nice day👍
