Why is it so hard to find a front end developer?
- jinushaun 11y agoPersonal perspective: it's damn hard, tedious, a lot of work, but less respected and well paid than back-end development.
- acconrad 11y agoIt's hard to find a good front-end developer. Easy to learn (hence all of the code camps focusing on HTML/CSS/JS), but difficult to master.
- illyism 11y agoThat's actually what I meant. I edited my title. But yes. And I kept this article non-technical. But the frameworks that exist are overwhelming sometimes; there's QUnit, Jasmine, Mocha, Chai, Gulp, Grunt, Webpack, Less, Sass, Stylus, CoffeeScript, Babel, Typescript. These do mostly similar things but each company you work for uses something else and has their own writing styles, architecture and whatnot. Difference between a 50th-percentile and 99th-percentile front end developer is very visible to users and has a direct effect on user adoption / retention.
