As an anecdote, I am not a professional programmer but I was writing some code to solve a problem at work and when it got to the front end stuff I was told not to worry about it because they would just get a cheap contractor to build the front end. The backend needed to be written by an expert who knows the problem and understands the solution but the front end can be spec’d out and outsourced to cheaper contractors. I don’t usually live in the world of enterprise programming so I’m not sure how normal that is, but it definitely surprised me.
