Don't get discouraged, FE is amazing, and it's only getting better imo. It's just a small number of grumpy developers stuck in the past who don't get it, just see them for what they are, wrong and ignorant. The most optimal way to work in this industry is to deliver great working products. No one can argue with results. If you want to strengthen your position, which is always a great idea, you can go many directions: FE + App development (react native for example), FE + backend, FE + design, FE + product, any pairing is super valuable. Also don't underestimate the power of frontend in an organization, it's where everything comes together, its where the rubber meets the road. It's where backend and design become an actual product, it's what your clients actually see, it's what business people demo and sell. If you do it well and take control, you can be the glue in an organization and influence literally everything.
