New post, kind of weirdly personal-feeling one. I don't know if it'll land with you, but I hope it at least gives you something to consider.

The quiet, pervasive devaluation of frontend

I keep noticing those of us in the frontend field being treated much the same as nurses, paralegals, and executive assistants. Our work is seen as important, certainly, but just not the same as, or as important as, the “real” work.

@collinsworth that's a very nice post indeed! Although I can't write frontend because I'm blind, I'm seeing that too, through the fact that most interns in my country are tought to do mostly frontend, and sure, maybe fullstack if the managers want to really squeeze all the performance dropplets of that poor dude. So yeah, it's a problem, one we often see in our increasingly unballancing society.
