> if they don't put a fashionable JavaScript framework into job description, they will not be able to hire front-end programmers. This is not a "pretend answer" and it's perfectly valid for devs to be picky about it. Nobody wants to work on garbage that started out as XML+CSS and mutated into a nightmarish mess that some "backend dev" cobbled together when the product team and the rest of the real world came knocking. It's ridiculous that there even is a distinction between backend and frontend in 2023. It's so much easier to maintain a project when the devs can't feign ignorance.
