The quiet, pervasive devaluation of frontend (joshcollinsworth.com)

An interesting read. Of course just an personal opinion as the author said, but I think he is correct in lots of his points.

I noticed that I think / feel like this myself sometimes, even while I'm a frontend dev myself.

Fortunately I'm in a nice team that values my frontend skills that all the other full stack/ Backend devs are missing.

Did you notice this bias / devaluing of the frontend work yourself?

I'm going to be honest. I like this thread. Not only is the article long and "thorough" (whether you agree with this form of thoroughness or not) but the responses are too.

I can appreciate what the author is trying to express. I also related to how he's trying to express it because it's very similar to how I try to explain my opinions, shower thoughts, meanderings....which typically earns me eyes glazing over from my conversation partners haha.

I have many many thoughts on everything being discussed here, but rather than contribute, I'm going to sip on my coffee and keep reading.

P.s. I'm liking PD better than Reddit. Actual conversation happening.
