Is web development dying Or is it growing more than ever ?
Any thoughts on this question?

    Yeah the internet is just a fad ... we're all going back to native apps, tomorrow.

    I think that the role of the front-end dev changes so much that it means something different every three years. At least in my small town, it's becoming harder for a self-taught person to break into the market.
    Here, you still get the very basic breakdown of front-end and back-end with a novel length list of responsibilities that overlap both for lower pay.
    That being said, change is good, technology evolves. Growth is a must.

    Web development will shift to some other evolution. That just means that its current incarnation will die.

    -- But in a small town like this, .NET will remain king for years to come. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

    At the same time, there's been tons of advancement for PWA's: WebRTC, Bluetooth API, WebAssembly, etc etc. I'd personally prefer if everything sticks to the browser, since then the user would retain a lot of agency to stop some 3rd party cookies, install addons etc.

    It is growing more than ever. I can not remember the last time I was involved in a new project targeting a standard computer desktop.

    Pah, this "web" is just a nonsense fad. I give it 6 months.

    The clients who get enraged that their website that launched two days ago doesn't look 'quite right' on a device that came out yesterday that less than 1,000 people will ever own still get to me sometimes, though.

    Web development can also mean building API's, for a mobile app. So all mobile apps use web technologies
