I asked them to clarify what I'm walking into and they just said the company has "scaled back" hiring front end developers but they have placed a few before. I'm not sure what that has to do with this particular situation and certainly didn't answer my question lol. I'm just gonna wing it, I'm certainly not qualified at the moment but it's also certainly not beyond my ability to learn fast. I just don't see that playing well with the fact I'll be coming in with some above-average demands if we get to the negotiations.
For the record, I've always found back-end programming and data wrangling much lower stress and more straightforward than the hell that is Frontend/UI. God deliver me from that bullshit.
You might do fine.
For the record, the only things i can think of that PostgreSQL does vs MySQL or whatever is A: being actually SQL compliant B: Support a "network address" data type which is pretty cool if you need that sort of thing and C: be a little slower.
