There is no such thing as backend. It is interfaces all the way down When people say they don't like frontend, they just mean they don't like implementing GUI

There is no such thing as backend. It is interfaces all the way down
When people say they don't like frontend, they just mean they don't like implementing GUI designs as opposed to CLIs, APIs, and all the other kinds of non-visual interfaces. And why would anyone enjoy translating existing designs into code. It's rote and finicky; there's little scope for creative decision making and few hard logical reasoning problems to chew on (note that I'm not talking about architecting complex async business logic, but just the translating design specs into HTML&CSS part of the job). Also, CSS is an unholy abomination that is absolutely disgusting to work with
Implementing the designs should be part of the designer's job. That should be the price they are required to pay for getting to do the fun creative part. It's also more their speed as coding goes
