So I started to get into frontend web dev
| Welcome to software development! There is always more, and it is always worse.
| True. It is a hell of things that in my opinion is way more complicated than it has to be. And to think that all is for making a fucking website.
Generic software development is not better. Dependency hell and layers upon layers is ominous everywhere. But web development is the most fucked up scene of all.
It is what made me decide to not pursue and be a programmer and never look back.
| There's a hackernoon article on this that every webdev person i know has read, about how ridiculous it is that using JavaScript and jQuery just isn't the current thing anymore.

| its like building a glue-less tower made of cards on a bridge connecting 2 moving rowing-boat on an ocean, nothing is stable, everything is moving
| Backend is a lot less stressful, so I admire people who have the guts to be real fronted pros

My concern is not the guts. It is the burnout state many end up being into after some years. They have to keep up with all what comes of fashion and the shifting reality of learning new versions of the tools to do their job. As if it is not enough to focus on the job and code efficiently, like all coders aim to.
There was a time when html alone could do a site. Today also all the browser sees is a stream of html. Generating that stream has become ridiculously complicated.
