Dunno, I started out with a lot of perl-cgi, and now do mostly react/redux/material-ui on the front end... I've picked up a lot of backend stuff over the years. SQL/PostgreSQL/Firebird/DB2/Oracle/mySQL, mongo, aws, azure, rethinkdb, rabbitmq, etc... The key is to not rest and constantly be learning/growing. That includes line of business knowledge.

I love this kind of work. Writing learning software for airplane systems. Accounting and auditing systems for fortune 100. Kiosk+POS for water distribution platforms. Security software. Election services software... It's been an amazing 24 years, and I have absolutely every intention to keep learning/working until I die.

I find that a lot of people just think that "web dev" stops at the browser.

Since now the web interface is ubiquitous everything could be labelled as "web dev", but for me your examples are general "software dev".
