Thanks for posting this.

Good frontend work is HARD. It requires both design and engineering knowledge, and it's very easy to write unmaintainable or inaccessible code. It also requires a high amount of backend work via BFFs, load balancing, hosting and serving, credential management, and more. The cherry on top is that it's basically all async code.

To be clear, I'm talking about the types of FEs used by thousands internationally, fully adherent to WCAG 2.2 (and above), and with rich interactivity. I'm not talking about someone's hobby project with a couple dozen users at best.

Seeing backend elitists diminish its worth is tiring as all hell. To me, it indicates that the person is either new to the industry or looking for a sense of superiority because they don't understand FE work. It's meaningless and exhausting to read.

Tldr: I agree
