A couple of points:

1) one of the most important principles of teaching is to only teach what is necessary. Overwhelming a complete newbie with installing python or node or whatever and then maxing an Ajax call would most likely lose the newbie and overwhelm them.

2) the idea of “cluttering the internet” or “this has already been written” is super toxic and discouraging to authors. You can spend your time writing a post that fits your criteria. Write the blog post that would have helped the past version of yourself. Everyone has a different viewpoint and a different audience, so writing with those things in mind is important.

3) I do have intro to backend posts in my history here. Feel free to check them out if you’re looking for one.

If you end up writing the post you’re asking for here I’d love to see it, please send it along.
