I think it is this way because back-end development requires more expertise than GUI development. Steady more experienced developers are better suited than new hires.
- k__ 13y agoMany of the back-end devs in here tell me, back-end is easier, because they can measure everything. Slow = bad Fast = good They probably think a good GUI is a question of taste and can't be measured and they don't want depend on "luck"
- crag 13y agoThe front-end guy also deals with the users more. And after spending 20+ years doing that, us older geeks are more than happy to moved to management or the back-end. Peace and quite.
- zachgersh 13y agoI know what you were meaning to say but I have actually been chastised by many a frontend dev for saying "Oh, all the stuff the frontend team does is easy". In either area (frontend / backend) the complexity depends entirely on the problem that you are trying to solve and I am sure there are plenty of FE problems that require a high level of expertise to solve elegantly.
