I decided to throw in the towel on frontend dev when I was forced to translate wireframes from a UX designer into pixel-perfect CSS (on a safety and time-critical project where the site was going to be used by back-office staff only, you've got to love how consultancies find ways to make $$$). We had used Bootstrap and similar frameworks for years prior, but all the battling with different CSS layout techniques to render the UI on this project made me realize I was wasting my time, and the fact that the designer couldn't give developers working CSS made me wonder if the entire promise of separating design from functionality was a mirage.
