Web development is a subset of software development. That is, every Web developer is a software developer, but not every software dev is a Web dev. If making software that runs in browsers appeals to you, then learning web dev is not a waste. It’s up to you, depending on what you hope to achieve from it. For what it’s worth, I learned Web dev primarily through freeCodeCamp, and my professional job title is ‘Software Engineer’. Whether I’m a good one is debatable 😉 ---

in my opinion software engineering has many branches and they have a common science and if you see the syllabus of any university for software engineering you will see that specialization is at the senior year they get a project in any branch they have studied like mobile apps or web or any thing ---
