Dear Frontend Developers, don't get fooled by some random dude.
There is an entire career to be made on building excellent frontends and it
includes very demanding topics like usability, color theory, typography,
motion/animation, accessibility, layout, screen design, ...
localisation, which a backend developer never will have to worry about. And I am
eternally grateful for every Frontend developer I've worked with who looked at
this challenges and was like, "Yep, let's do it!" because this does not spark
joy for me.
Some people are just grumpy asshats who will diminish something just because
it's something they can't wrap their simple minds around.
The secret for any career in software is: following what you are curious about
will guide you towards becoming a great engineer.
There is enough to do to have experts on all facets of the software development
lifecycle.
