I'm a few years older than the author, but otherwise have a largely similar history. But I love front-end! Yes, there's a lot of tooling, but I think the difference is that I see and appreciate everything that that tooling's brought me. It took many years for me to learn what I know now, but given what I know now, there's so much I can do now that I couldn't do before, or would've taken me a lot longer.
