> I hate to say it but this is modern web dev in a nutshell. Remove stuff until you find where the bug is, tweak it randomly until it's fixed, done.

I’ve alternated between frontend, “full stack”, and backend roles for over 20 years. It’s my experience that what you’re describing is “dev in a nutshell”—neither “modern” nor “web” in the sense you seem to mean. And in any case it’s highly situational and variable depending on the dev and their team.
