Confused web dev beginner 2: Electric Boogaloo
| web design and web development are two distinct fields. don't worry too much if you're not great at UX design. focus on backend. a little front-end knowledge never hurt anyone, though.
| There's jobs for everything. If a company really needs a full stack developer but you're not strong in front-end they'll still take you most likely.
I had this issue too coming out of the military and getting a job in software development. I love the back end, problem solving stuff but not too fond of the UI. So I just didn't apply to web dev jobs. Turns out the job I have now involves exactly that but to my surprise in doesn't take much out of me to work as a full stack.
| You're in the same atmosphere, still developing software and writing code. If you need to get away from it code on your own for a bit then get back to it.
| Not really an expert on being a full stack developer, but from my experience, it seems like having little knowledge on frontend can still qualify you as a full stack dev. I guess I can say that's my case right now, I just read frontend frameworks and UX design from time to time.

| Yup, it's me again. And I still don't really have a full grasp on the industry. So, from what I'm seeing, most popular/required kind of web dev is a full stack one? What if I don't have a knack for design/UI/UX (basically front-end in general), but can deal fairly well with APIs and server-side logic/calculations? Are there jobs that would allow me to do exclusively that? Or should I just deal with it and forcr myself to learn front-end too?
