An interesting read. Of course just an personal opinion as the author said, but I think he is correct in lots of his points.

I noticed that I think / feel like this myself sometimes, even while I'm a frontend dev myself.

Fortunately I'm in a nice team that values my frontend skills that all the other full stack/ Backend devs are missing.

Did you notice this bias / devaluing of the frontend work yourself?

I feel for this guy. It's not just frontend though, I've seen it with backend, DBAs, etc. It really is just a reflection of what the business considers valuable.

It's true it happens for other areas too. But I think it might be true that frontend is often viewed as "the easy" part by other devs. Especially older backend devs seem to think it's all super easy. At least in my experience.

And that businesses try to push for all devs be full stack doesn't help.
