It's because front end is a lot like the Blue Oyster Bar. If you're at the front, you'll get fucked.

devTea240945yMy coleagues think front end is just grabbing a brush and paint the website with fancy colors

@devTea blows my mind. I sometimes just ask people to do my job when they start shitting and then they become all defensive.
I mean if you don't know enough about something.. stop fucking demeaning it. -
@devTea Dunning-Kruger effect, when one knows so little about something that it looks easy.
Actually, I didn't think either that web design is hard. I mean, when you subtract the outright superfluous shit that just gets into the way.
And then I needed a website, nothing big. So I read into usability, Norman Nielsen Group's articles, accessibility, WCAG 2.1, colour wheels, responsive design, performance metrics.
Next, I realised that the broad majority of websites are so bad because a lot of those who do them (and/or: their bosses!) don't seem to know much more than I did before research. -
@Fast-Nop i make a point to rant about a website in public if clicking on a label doesnt focus the fucking input in the form.
Use it yourself before making people use it. -
I’m not a dedicated front end guy but it’s a tedious fucking job and one that does require a lot of skill and knowledge. As usual though the idiots confuse a photoshop/ sketch mock with how long the real thing takes.

Why do so many companies think that frontend work can be stuffed at the end of the product development right before a release is expected.
And to top it off, expect all things to be working, smooth, animating, responsive, crisp, fast with 100 fucking lighthouse score.
🖕 To everyone who thinks frontend work is meh!, Not real programming and similar. Fuck you!
