Frontend (IMHO) tends to be simpler than BE systems, because FE is literally a single device, and often a single git repo.
BE requires a lot more context around microservices, database, reverse-proxy, api-design, etc.
A signal that makes me correct is the number of BE vs FE at a big company.
- WOTERMEON 2y agolol I wish. The problem is not the inherent complexity but the accidental complexity. FE has a big chunk in the second. You won’t get your budget to rewrite three accidental complexity you find in the wild
- only-one1701 2y agoThe question isn't "is frontend simpler than backend?" (which I don't think is as simple as you make it out to be). The question is "can LLMs replace frontend developers?" I think it's a bit like Squarespace. The lowest possible tiers of developers will be replaced. Anything complex enough to be beyond the scope of a hobbyist isn't able to be replaced with an LLM.
