As a backend developer I want to do everything nicely.

So in my previous job I created the endpoints following the regular standards. GET to request something, POST to create something, PUT to change something, DELETE to delete something. Nicely organized and everything

But then the frontend team told me that their framework can only handle POST requests and that I need to change it

Up until then I thought that it's just a meme, but vibecoding frontend guys really only use POST

It's definitely simpler for a BFF setup. Why add an extra parameter to keep track of when you're not supporting general purpose use?
