I have only worked on back end but one team that I might be joining does 70% front end work. Yay or nay? Edit: Team seems great though with great impact ($1B revenue team). Also can you guys comment why Yay or Nay? Team uses AngularDart, Java, SQL
Nay
Why'd you think so @asshole
Easier to get promoted with backend work at Google.
Hayyyyyy
Kayyy
Front end is so much better than backend
Whattt? Are you trolling..? It's the first time I hear this. Would you mind elaborating?
Dog in 2018 we have yarn, npm, react, angular, Apollo, graphql, es2018, web assembly, etc. Doing frontend is more complicated, more useful, and funner than learning proprietary enterprise tech. The only people that hate frontend now are C coders that are intimidated by learning new tools.
Sounds like play team.
What's that
All work and no play
If you enjoy spending several hours a day trying to adjust an elementโs location on the screen by 1 or 2 pixels, it may be the right job for you
If you like writing 40 lines of code a week and spending all week triaging JIRA, backend is for you.
Dude, just use !important ๐
What do you exactly do with Angular? Strictly front end UI/UX?
Which org is this
This was me two years ago, but not at Google. I hated it at first because it wasn't really my preference, and I thought front end dev was for asshats who weren't smart enough to work on the backend. Turns out I was wrong. It can be quite challenging and fun, and I'm really glad I pushed out of my comfort zone. Give it a shot! You can always go back to the backend if you want, but I really like being full stack now. It's empowering.
Yay
Kayy but why?
Cuz u do something different
