Uh.. I was full stack engineer and I would rather stay mostly backend than touch front end.
It's just wild wild west when I was still a full stack dev.
There was these clientside rendering framework emberjs, angular, knockoutjs, etc...
What the hell man, now the flavor is fluxjs and reactjs or whatever.
This is on top of html and css being more of an art then a science. Then came along the grid system to fix most of the warts but cross browser compatibility, etc...
I don't believe front end engineer is going away because there is just so much stuff in front end and back end to be for one person. You can be a fullstack but you can't be a master of all of it unless you got no life, no family, etc..
- RUG3Y 10y agoI do a little bit of everything, front-end, back-end, databases etc., and man, the front-end feels like such a janky disaster to me. I really miss the simplicity of the "old" internet that I had growing up (I'm in my 30's). I'm with you, I'd much rather be writing code on the back-end and spend my time solving interesting problems. My front-end problems are almost invariably styling/ display issues, etc. The kind of problems that are just labor to solve, not interesting.
