    Front end is hard. Slapping together some form elements, xhr requests, and DOM updates is easy. Building a usable, consistent UI, that makes proper user of the backend isn’t. On top of that, every jackass thinks they get it because they’re a user, so you get unsolicited suggestions from everywhere.

      Here, I’m going to scare all the front end devs “Make it pixel-perfect to the designs”

        Meh. I’d rather make pixel perfect to designs than not have designs…

        It’s only scary if you’re incompetent.

      Don’t forget the long nights of overtime, redesigning that one button component for the sixth time.

        Because some doofus upper level manager needs to make the project his own and the button doesn’t “pop” enough.

    You could just call this “Programmer programming” and save some screen real estate.

    The problem is you have comp sci majors who learned .Net or Java handed react, so they do their damndest to turn react into .Net or Java.

    I have seen many travesties committed in react and angular from people trying to turn them into what they know instead of letting them be good at what they are.

      That’s a complete statement on its own.
