Good God do I hate frontend development!

:( why tho

I love front end development. But, when I say that, FED = WPF, and I'm pretty sure that's not what 99% of posters here mean.

Be like me and don't do it then

I both love and hate it.

To me, code should be efficient, fast, and elegant. This is not possible in frontend. But frontend does allow me to write using very interesting patterns that I'm not able to use elsewhere, so it is still enjoyable.

But six months later, my untouched code breaks because an arbitrary number of its (hundreds/thousands of) dependencies it relies upon have breaking changes, or because npm decided to silently update only some of them by itself.

No, I much prefer C.
Write it once, write it well, use it forever.

I try to visualize myself fighting on a war between me and browser when I want to do it, then every time I realize that I am dead before I even started.

I generally don't mind all the plumbing work but there's something about styling that's a little mind numbing for me personally.

I bet you suck at it

@vocuzi I do suck at it.

@rantsauce once you get good at it, it's awesome and a soothing experience.
