I'm not even convinced front-end is devalued. We spend way more grooming time on user experience than database structure. We spend way more testing time on section 508/ADA compliance than on backup audits. I'm sure there are places where front end is devalued, such as internal business software, but nobody is hiring out consultants at $500/hr to "rebrand" their PHP variable or MySQL column naming conventions.
