"You're relegated to the backend not because you know Java instead of Typecript, but because you don't understand the problems of frontend development."

I've designed a number of front-ends in various languages on various platforms and am very comfortable with vanilla web programming and design.

The reason I'm relegated to the back-end because 99% of front-end developers don't know how to program and choose garbage like JavaScript or based on it and are often intently amused by the mention of yet another tool out of hundreds that churn all that crap into something almost useful but hopelessly unmaintainable.
