Having done both for 20 years, I would recommend staying on the back end. The whole front-end ecosystem is a mess in so many ways, save yourself frustration and consider learning something new that you think you might like instead.

Exactly, would agree as well! Guess it is still a huge benefit to know frontend as well. Even if for some reason you would have to take care of both sides.

I think the worst is when frontend and backend is mixed with node js for example. Then there is no way out..

Ha! Agreed. Nodejs is tolerable with typescript (hopeless with js), but gosh, I just hated python (even with mypy) with django for server side dev. Django has way too much magic.

Thanks! Plan to do a 2 month project on the frontend and will play by ear thereafter. I agree with you so far though.
