Frontend developer here. Everytime I need to create some sort of rich API I discovered that the last framework I learnt was "no longer valid". Happened with CakePHP, Webforms and now ASP.Net 2.
My feeling is that backend development is overcomplicated/overbloated. Specially with the big players (AWS, Play). Lucky me, I found my way with PHP. Simple, elegant, lightweight and fast enough. You don't need a lot of complicated boilerplate, nor learning a new template language or syntax.
