anyone works both as webdev  and mobiledev can give me a good tips on which one is easier and more future proof?
also im trying to compare between android development and iOS development too. I've been hearing doing `iOS`programming is far more beneficial and can generate more $ in long term

I think its safe to say neither is more future proof than the other

[Theo]

if you want future proof learn backend instead

[tddmonkey]

As a BE developer, I wouldn’t even say that is future proof!

[tddmonkey]

If as an individual you want to future proof you should be flexible, and realise that there’s a lot more to being a good developer than just cutting code

[Theo]

agree, I probably should have said more future proof but I realise even that is probably not necessarily true. Just my perspective from someone who's worked largely on iOS and web frontends.

[tddmonkey]

The BE landscape changes just as much, and if you don’t keep up you find yourself outdated

OSes converge as you can see visually, and architecturally, and with Compose and SwiftUi even view layers will be very similar. Pick what you want

If you are just starting out, I would suggest SwiftUI and Xcode, go watch the intro session, it’s kind of mind-blowing, and I have been using SwiftUI, since last June!
