To expand a bit on this, and I feel I should write this in a longer form.
The backend (wtv you call it) should be built as a service, it serves the end user through frontend (wtv be it mobile/web). If the developers working with the backend have to jump through hoops, their work suffers, the users also suffer.
This feels like gatekeeping that just makes everyone want to quit.
PS: depends on which physical server is hit. this makes me think that these backends aren't running the same version of the code, which is bad in several levels.
As a backend developer, wtf
That makes me feel better, thank you :D
