The only people who look down on frontend or backend engineers are people who don’t understand what it means to be great in either domain, and are too arrogant to take the time to learn and appreciate its nuances.

Every engineer I’ve known who’s “looked down” on frontend or was dismissive of it was not only bad at frontend and didn’t understand what it takes to be good at it, but also a jerk about the perceived depth of their own knowledge.
