if you do it more than once consider automating it. Better pay, better quality & better life!Last edited by vetran; 30 December 2021, 13:15."If you didn't do anything that wasn't good for you it would be a very dull life. What are you gonna do? Everything that is pleasant in life is dangerous."

I got kind of shoved into the front end basket by chance when the industry started drawing the distinction in the mid-2000s - it just so happened that I was mainly doing that stuff at the time, and I thus ended up stuck with it for a while. I still think CSS is great, but it's sufficiently complex now with things like flexbox and grid that it needs to be regarded as a specialism in its own right. And the flood of JS developers who want to make everything an SPA but don't even know how to write semantic HTML makes a lot of things intolerable to work on.
I've been mainly Python/Django, with front end stuff done as needed (and semantically marked-up, and without relying on JavaScript for things that can be done purely in HTML and CSS), for the past few years. The relief is tremendousComment
