I hate front end work, but not for the reasons given here. I actually don’t think the boilerplate stuff is a big deal unless you’re starting new things all the time instead of maintaining an existing project. The real reason I hate front end work is because you spend so much time programming meaningless stupid shit that is only complicated because you have to achieve a certain aesthetic or UX. Imagine spending a day getting some borders to render correctly for some custom widget. Borders! With backend work though, things you write are usually much more important and you spend less time tweaking and tinkering to get something “just right”. And you don’t have to deal with designers.
