That's basically the life story of the life of frontend engineer nowadays isn't it? The lower I went to the ground, e.g. backend, then native code, then C... the happier I am. It's like the ocean, the lower you go, the more stable and calm things are. On the surface, you get the crashing waves. I used to be a Web expert, from the early days, DHTML and flash, to the median years, jquery, backbone etc. to then writing my own libraries. Vue 2 was the last I really used as front-end heavy. Since then I've been secluded more towards the backend, I leave the front end to the young. I do like systems like Laravel Livewire though, it's mildly sane. When I write websites now, I do it all by hand and focus on really fast page loading times rather than a monstrosity of generated code and async over the wire. I have such a better time doing it. Today's web should be considered harmful to the health. It's a high blood pressure job.
