Where is 1% coming from? None of the software jobs I've worked at or even interviewed to work could have functioned as a website

Can you link those?

Because I mostly built backoffices, chats, forums, ecommerces, all things that would've worked better as websites.

Here are some of the things I've worked on: - payroll and other hr software - educational software - shared workspace for realtors and homebuyers

I'm not going to doxx myself by naming all the companies, but here is an example of a page that has too many features to work as a website. https://www.compass.com/listing/7310-estrella-de-mar-road-un...

You've got to be kidding me, I think you're conflating SPAs with websites that provide advanced interactivity.

I don’t see anything on that site that wouldn’t work as a website. We were building this type of thing 15-20 years ago just fine.

1% of domains perhaps, not 1% of developers.
