Back when I studying CS and as Junior, I would laugh at memes about "Frontend vs Backend" where they described the Frontend as this pretty pasture and the Backend as this god forsaken place of spaghetti code.
In a way I find this meme even funnier now because of how backwards it is. Often times it's the backend that's really clean and organized and the frontend is a hot mess.
- shynrou 5y agoI have worked in both kinds of projects. Those where the backend was the mess and those where the frontend was it. Good devs, who take care and are given the time to do it right, can create both in clean manner. I think usually the problem why frontend tends to get messy: There is usually a lot more pressure, unclear goals and instructions involved. And of cause a foundational technology that is already incredibly messy especially if you have a wide browser support goal.
