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 a scientist, and “Not a real programming language” gives me big vibes of arguing that a thing is a science
CSS is not a programming language. Neither is HTML.
This, however does not take away from its importance or the skillsets and expertise required to use it effectively.
What a weird belief: thinking the value they bring to a project is tied to whether they use programming languages or not. The majority of people working with programming languages are already bad at it. Why is it being used as a badge of honor?
Is this a “living in glass houses” scenario?
