I have yet to meet a frontend dev who called a backend dev an idiot. I have met plenty of backend devs who have indirectly called frontend devs idiots.

- willio58 3y agoI have to agree on this. But also anyone who calls anyone else an "idiot" for how they code is doing it wrong™. We can learn from what eachother thrive in. For backend, it's usually data structures, databases, performance, etc. while on the frontend it's creating visually appealing UIs that feel good to interact with and both of those sides of web dev act to bring people into what we create time and time again. So when backend devs get mad when frontend devs say "Hey, maybe backend isn't so bad after all", that feels backwards.
- tubthumper8 3y agoI agree as well, having worked on both sides (and "full stack"). Not really calling "idiot", but more of the bias that frontend development is easy and not "real" programming whereas I've never personally seen the reverse attitude. I have only worked at more "traditional" companies so that likely influences my experience as well, it may be different at different kinds of companies.
