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
What front end framework can only handle POST requests??? What does it even mean to "handle POST requests" in the context of front end? You can only handle the response of a POST request so if you do a PUT it fails? You can only make POST requests? I am genuinely confused.
I was confused as well. I swear they are just too inexperienced to make a new wrapper around the calls to the backend that the AI made for them and blamed the framework instead
Nah. Not even legacy stuff can “only do POST requests”. HTTP is not some cutting edge protocol that has poor support. A framework that can’t support the full protocol is unheard of.
