indeed.

a decade or so ago, we had designers who did html and css, and back-end developers who nudged the html into templates and did all the rest.

i used to be a classic back-end developer.

nowadays i am happy to code front-end, because my work hasn't really changed, it's just that many things that i used to do in the back-end are now done in the browser. i am still working with designers who do html and css, and i am still nudging the html into templates.

the one reason i don't like working with css is because most decisions to be made around it are design decisions, which, not having any experience in design are decisions i feel unqualified to make so i dread making them.
