Apparently there is a larger preference to backend engineering than frontend. Why is this the case? My thought is that most BE's can't style for shit, and are probably just avoiding it. What do you think? TC: 100k YOE: <1 lmao
I can’t style because I’m not a front end. It’s not the other way around.
But did you ever try at one point?
Where tf is my option to vote for not avoiding Frontend and write frontend? And where's your TC?
I thought i had a great name
Oops sorry
Frontend is filled with subjectiveness. Backend has clearly defined inputs & outputs. There’s less room for drama and personal opinion.
That’s not true, front end everyone is judged by lighthouse/pageinsights performance scores. It seperates the amateurs from the elites.
Front end Jira ticket: make it look like this attachment, make it connect to this endpoint Back end Jira ticket: (discussion needed) Just do enterprise front end. No one care what it looks like. You get none of the hassle of back end and management loves the demos.
Designing front end has lesser challenges than backend. Also companies hire more for backend positions.
Hard disagree on the first point. Your average FE engineer is doing more difficult work than your average BE engineer. We might hire more BE but FE is harder to find and we definitely paid a good chunk more for FE
FE gets paid more than backend. More demand and less supply especially for Senior+ Every company needs front end
Lets be honest Fe people aren’t designing They’re just using figmas from people who can’t code
What an ignorant comment. Yes they are 2 completely different positions. Would you say BE is the same as DS? Because that’s basically what you’re saying.
No i said and saying Fe people aren’t designing They’re just using figmas from people who can’t code
I can style pretty well but I just hate the amount of code I have to read on the frontend. I feel backend provides more impact than frontend
I’m avoiding backend
Lmfao
That’s going to be a great career with a great WLB
Where’s the “I’m avoiding frontend because I hate JavaScript and CSS” option?
Lots of you in this boat, true
Front end is more than just “styling” it’s not 2011 anymore

American police seem to work only when Israel is challenged
Because be people can see the whole context Front end typically can’t and are lazy people that just say give me an api
I’ve worked years in both roles and FE is much harder with a larger surface area than back end. Much much harder.
Its harder because you deal with people who have no idea what they want The hard part is dealing with dumb people not coding
