Sounds like he’s burned out of software engineering. Moving to back end is not going to help, back end has similar issues. Micro services, reactive frameworks, package managers, etc.

It’s common to burn out of software engineering. It happens to many, if not most people in software. Software is fun to get started and dabble and enjoy as hobby. However, when it turns into larger scale projects with team members, it’s harder to manage. It becomes tedious and difficult very fast.

It’s ok to walk away and say software did not work out. Change careers and do something difficult. There’s more to life and career than moving bits around.
