I think front-end is seen as the faggiest, most hipster programming related occupation.
endless stream of retarded frameworks, memes and douchebags certainly helped turning what was something fun into this abomination
still, i think that it can be rewarding and a nice alternative to yet another backend implementation job
give it a try

My impression is that all technologies on the web are a mess and every browser has its own little quirks that makes it nearly impossible to make something work perfectly everywhere, especially with mobile browsers and a million different screen sizes involved. The whole thing seems to be a huge pain in the ass.
I also suck at design and have no sense of ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃｓ.
No.225
imo we could have a perfectly enjoyable internet experience if we didn't demand so fucking much of the internet. I can imagine a beautiful, elegant, *non XML based front-end system that implements text, images, video and audio, that's it.

>>223>>224>>225This opinion clearly comes from a place of bad taste and lack of aesthetics.
No.240
>>238lol,
>>225 here
what's the big deal? I hate the modern internet aesthetic.
No.300
>>225You desire for the web to be 100% blogs? That's pretty fucking horrifying. I'm actually enjoying the web being a place for apps that I don't have to store long-term to use once and throw away. I just wish there weren't so many megacorps fucking things up so that the web can be more friendly for dipsoykafs on facebook.

I try to stay away from it because spending two weeks trying to make somebody happy about the color of a button on an internal report form was hard on my sanity every time (FUCK YOU JUST PRESS ENTER). I've escaped BI and trying my damnedest not to go back to that soykaf
No.431
>>221Some do, but it requires some basic understanding of design that is disconnected with STEM. So it's rare to find a decent front end dev that isn't a dirty hipster and actually knows how to deal with people as well.
No.432
>>238It seems to me that few people have worse taste than 'designers'.
I wouldnt trust anyone who can talk to me for more than two minutes about fonts to 'design' anything.
No.483
>>221I think because it involves style and design instead of technical work, which is just a matter of preference but if you like programming you'd probably prefer the latter. It's also a big mess to get everything looking nice, responsive, interactive, etc. whilst taking into account that people might have JS disabled, page needs to load quickly, etc.
