Building a competent perspective on different areas of the "stack" can help you appreciate the problems that your peers and reports might be coming across. It also opens a new angle on problem solving and the ways to shift the solution across the stack to suit the context and purpose. I'd definitely recommend you to get atleast some hands-on with the frontend. You do have options with low learning curve these days to quickly build your understanding.
- silentsea90 4y agoThanks! Plan to do a 2 month project on the frontend and will play by ear thereafter
- Mezzie 4y agoAgree with this as somebody who does the inverse. I like front-end much more than back-end, but knowing at least some back-end helps me understand how things fit together, how to make things more efficient, etc. If nothing else, learning about the front-end is a good lesson in how illogical and subjective humans are, and helps you keep in mind the end-user of what you're making while you're making it. (Like how learning back-end helps me keep in mind that whatever we're making has to work for/with machines and not just people.)
