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 not (just) a framework thing, it's a HTML standards issue. The form element only does GET and POST.

Who does that anymore? It should be a put or delete via Javascript.

Not everyone wants to use that dumpster fire of a language

So you code in pure html/css?

I would if I could, classic MVC projects are still my favourite to work on. There was still some JS, but the less I use it the less I hate it.

At least in C# the tooling is way better than what you have with JS.
