Is it wrong of me to want to learn technologies like GraphQL, databases, Nest.js, and other backend related technologies without having solid HTML, CSS, and JavaScript knowledge? I've been working with Node.js and Express.js for a couple years now but really want to dive into more of whats possible on the backend but I never felt interested to learn the frontend. I do have some very basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but I feel I couldn't pass a technical interview related to them. I just find the backend so much more interesting and fun to work with over the frontend.

    You can do backend,
    you can do frontend,
    or you can do both.
    Whatever you prefer!

    (Though you should at least know the basics of whichever you don’t pick because it will help you understand how others will use / rely upon your code)

    99% of the time you don't need any html/css/js knowledge to do pure backend. Most communication these days happen in JSON or XML. You can let the Frontend guys handle the frontend
