> No more requests from Frontend developers like „Hey, can you also add that field to this endpoint? Then I don’t have to make multiple requests“.
Do people actually work like this is 2025? I mean sure, I guess when you're having entire teams just for frontends and backends then yea, but your average corporate web app development? It's all full stack these days. It's often expected that you can handle both worlds (client and server) and increasingly its even TypeScript "shared universe" when you don't even leave the TS ecosystem (React w/ something like RR plus TS BFF w/ SQL). This last point, where frontend and backend meet, is clearly the way things are going in general. I mean these days React doesn't even beat around the bush and literally tells you to install it with a framework, no more create-react-app, server side rendering is a staple now and server side components are going to be a core concept of React within a few years tops.
Javascript has conquered the client side of the internet, but not the server side. Typescript is going to unify the two.

Full stack is common for simple web apps, where the backend is almost a thin layer over the database.
But a lot of the products I’ve worked with have had backends that are far more complex than something you could expect the front end devs to just jump into and modify.
