I’m far from a newbie developer, and every time I see something like this, I think “why bother”?

Modern front end development is a shit show and pays less than any other area of software development. I know enough HTML/CSS to build a workable internal website and I know Javascript like the back of my hand. But, given a choice between specializing on the front end and compete with “good enough” boot camp grads and specializing in backend architecture and infrastructure, I chose to do the latter.
