And in my case, less Java I have to read or write on the back end :-)

I agree, though - it’s much easier to reason about the data integrity and security when there is a smaller code base on the back end, by virtue of splitting user interface concerns off to a front end code base.

I’ve been programming since the 80s, but I’d rather write FP code in JS than OOP code in Java - so long as I’m not doing anything to make the app work badly for people. So I’ve gravitated towards front end work the last 3 years or so.

Another rant for another time...
