Imo, the libraries in the article are not that related to backend developers, and what backend developer needs tensorflow?
If I want machine learning in backend I would consult a specialist and he would handle that, not me running pip install tensorflow.
This is pure clickbait.
(The libraries are pillow, bcrypt, fastapi, tensorflow and some other)

Of course, I agree that there are tons of things that I have missed. but please explain -

  1. How is hashing passwords using Bcrypt not related to backend development?

  2. When you create a profile on social media (like on Twitter or Facebook or any other) and upload your profile photo to the server, it automatically gets reshaped into different dimensions for many reasons. A feature that you can develop in less than two lines of code using the Pillow library.

How is that not useful to backend developers?
Or you would hire a cryptographic and computer vision expert to handle those things too?
