You can be hired on frontend, and that means you write client-side code, but with JS (or others *script)

You can be hired on the backend and will write server-side

You can be hired on mobile and will write Android/iOS code

But what do we have now on the desktops?

1. Electron-based, CEF-based applications written by frontenders or full-stack developer

2. CLI, TUI, or Qt/wx/gtk utilities written by backenders

3. A cross-platform application written by mobile developers (flutter, kotlin compose mpp)

4. Really native programs, oh, never seen them, or maybe on macos only :(

First ones - optimized to be run in a browser, so keeps the browser with them, and voilà, it's become unoptimized and big

Second - we have better-optimized code, but an interface can be improved or should be written from zero, however, those guys never work with designers and...

Third and fourth variants - perfect, but almost never seen them in enterprise

But businesses take care mostly for money and we get electron or CEF(spotify, geforce now, steam) and memory leaks and etc.

So, we have no such thing as desktopdev or desktopend (deskend) software in the enterprise world, and I hate it.
