On: Software development topics I've changed my mind on

[alexchamberlain]

I think Frontend (or maybe slightly expanded App Development) is a greatly underappreciated skill. It's easy to throw a UI together, but to do it in a way that is obvious to your user's, can be maintained and can move at the speed the business needs is a tough ask.

I agree, getting all the pieces together and having it be maintainable and enjoyable to work on is part of the craft.

I enjoy the challenge, and have found a great niche for myself doing exactly that.
