As a backend developer who occasionally has to work on the frontend, that top image is pretty accurate although it requires bootstrap smeared all over to pretty things up a bit. After that it will have the “Good Enough” seal of approval.
Pfft just go there and feel the air yourself. Knowing the weather in advance is bloat anyway. If medieval sailors could launch ships without weather info and survive 30% of the time, you can too.
Imagine having to rely on physical senses to determine the weather, how pathetic. Honestly if you can’t infer weather patterns from learned data then better get back to that CSS.
A proper backend developer would have the query be a URL using the GET method with a parameter that the user can fill-in directly in the address bar and the result be a text/plain page with just a bunch of numbers separated by pipe characters (or an application/json page with that info encoded as JSON if you wanna be fancy).
This has the added advantage of working both for humans and as an API for use in machine to machine communications via HTTP.
As a full stack dev I’d like to say that the issue I see most from backend devs isn’t a lack of styling, it’s their need to wrap every element in 15 motherfucking divs. They don’t seem to understand that most html elements are self contained and can stand on their own.

What is this bloat? Trash site.
Honestly you don’t even need to make the text field visible. If they can’t touch-type that’s on them.
I would prefer a dropdown list of all possible coordinate combinations.

As a java/python developer who has been hooked to front end since last 3 years I feel this is apt !.😂😂
I’d rather play pacman

After some time toying with CSS I have decided to fuck it and whenever I need to make a website I will just either:
I used to like bootstrap. Still do. But it has some faults… Depending on your needs you’re loading a lot of CSS you aren’t using.
Bootstrap 5.3 is 59kb before gzip. 6700 lines of code. That’s a lot to just apply some simple styles.
There are a ton of lighter weight alternatives nowadays.
God I wish weather pages were more like that first one.
Front hand back hand?
From my experience, devs be like:
Backend, yay! Frontend, nay! … and I the end, not even the backend works properly.
I’m ops so I just get to enjoy how confused they get when their shit only works locally.
“Hey Bob, you did add a retry when you added that call to service X?
Umm, no?
Oh for fuck’s sake!”
All the fucking time.
So in the end, it doesn’t even matter?
I TRIED. SO. HARD.

Also: Real websites like this don’t have DRM. GOOGLE.
No bloat, no Javashit, no problem

What if I want the weather in Paris, TX?
You need to fire a gun and to a really good bald eagle impression.

The page at the top looks perfectly fine. It’s useful, it gets the job done and it’s lightweight.
It’s almost fine. It needs to include units for the measurements.
