I disagree. Rigorous code standards are just as necessary on front-end code as back-end. In my experience, no code review, poor design or documentation, and lax standards lead to jittery experiences. For example, people write complex blocking code that causes the page to freeze for moments while that processing is happening. People write event handlers that execute too often and slow user interaction.

My point was though, that such issues can be quickly picked up just by using the application, and you can usually elicit the causal factors by prodding at it. Often times such issues in non-UI code can go for years without it being noticed.

But broadly speaking yes I agree, but one or two of my line managers in the past would not.
