Re:Modern Javascript: Everything you missed over the last 10... by pseudalopex on Sunday May 30, 2021 @12:52AM (#27330700)
The scenario was a front end developer making a small back end change or vice versa. In such cases the rest of the code to be written will be in the part they're familiar with.

Sometimes the field isn't part of the request. Or maybe part of the minimal training was wrapping ValueError in BadRequest. Or maybe part of the minimal training was we have an exception handler do it automatically.

Often there aren't any new security checks.

Sometimes field types are documented. Sometimes you have an integer in the database and need the same value as an integer in the front end.

Most of the issues you brought up don't go away if you use JavaScript everywhere. Learning a little of another language is comparatively simple.
