The quiet, pervasive devaluation of frontend – Josh Collinsworth blog

March 11, 2024

I feel like I’m seeing a widespread diminishment of the practice of frontend. Nearly everywhere I look, I notice its importance minimized, and its challenges trivialized.This effect might be invisible to you right now. And thus, you might be reflexively inclined to say it doesn’t exist. Maybe you’re right. Maybe it doesn’t. Maybe I just need to step away from my little screens in my little basement office a little more often.

Or, maybe it’s just like any other implicit bias; maybe it seems like it doesn’t exist because it feels so ordinary until you know what to look for. So: let’s talk about what I see. Maybe you’ll see it, too.
