Proof that you can build a backend without knowing what a backend is!
So you're building your first app and keep hearing words like "backend" and "runtime," but not sure what the hell those are? You're not alone! Ethan Rodriguez-Torrent is the creator behind Wreck Havoc, a virtual team-building game that uses an AppGyver web app in gameplay. He tells us how he overcame jargon barriers to teach himself no-code, and offers a few tips for beginners on entering the world of game development.
We'd also like to correct the statement made about saunas in Finland: the estimate is actually 1 sauna per household, not 1 per person because that would be crazy (even for Finland).
