I'm 44 and I'm a frontend dev. I've been a web dev for 25 years now (wow. I feel old.), working largely on the frontend. Most frontend dev work isn't "make the shiny thing!" It's building a pretty boring app with a shiny layer on top. The foundational stuff hasn't changed in the past 2 decades. We've always needed to gather requirements, figure out journeys, do the UX work, build a robust app that takes data, validates it, fires it to an API, handles responses, etc. If anything I actually write far more business logic as a frontend dev these days than I did years ago.
