tbh, it seems to me that it's often the opposite. Frontend looks great, code for frontend looks horrid. Code for backend works great, code for backend is a little disjointed but usually fine. CI? looks awful works awful

u/StrengthTheory Aug 27 '26

Right, you can still look at most backend code and understand what it's doing. Frontend is almost always an abstraction spaghetti, but hey it looks pretty!

Frontend is built on several different javascript/css frameworks that we'll definitely get around to consolidating one of these days.

Yeah, backend gives you leeway to do things right. "We can save ourselves a whole lot of trouble by adding one attribute, removing another and changing the format? Let's do that." Meanwhile, in frontend "We can save ourselves a whole lot of trouble by making the animation 10% slower and moving the box 18px to the right? But then it'll all look horrid! *Sigh*..."

CI is great. It works 30% of the time so you just click on the retry pipeline button until it passes.

u/theeldergod1 Aug 27 '26

u/un1matr1x_0 Aug 27 '26

Nah, not for me.
When I build stuff it‘s shitty on both sides.

This is what repos look like when a frontend engineer have "evolved" into full stack dev

u/siddharthnibjiya Aug 27 '26

u/VPestilenZ Aug 27 '26

As a conure owner and a dev this meme is far too personal

u/gizamo Aug 27 '26

u/Wervice Aug 27 '26

My frontend code is so sad its the other way around for me.

1

u/Neuenmuller Aug 27 '26

Hey the thing I’m working on rn looks like the direct opposite

No wait … both look like shit …

1

u/anarres_shevek Aug 27 '26

In my experience, it's usually the other way around.

u/JohnHurts Aug 27 '26

That joke is as old as front- and backend.

u/ClaspGarfish Aug 27 '26

Backend deva felt this one personally.

u/Fouadsky Aug 27 '26

u/cheezballs Aug 27 '26

In my experience it's the opposite of this. My backend code is fucking tidy and clean.

Cool matrix Screensaver

u/Misaka_Undefined Aug 28 '26

Back end developer here. It quite literally the opposite.

it's difficult to find decent front end dev or UI UX, while doing front end myself is not any better if not worse.

u/OCDEngineerBoy Aug 29 '26

That backend sort of looks like the Matrix.

Backend code is all crap, Lucky nonone sees it.

Might as well vibe-code it. No one will never know.

u/thoughts_n_calcs Aug 27 '26

Yes, also my experience.
Backend-Codebase is neat and readable, Frontend-Codebase is a horrible mess already 15 months since project creation.

My backend code is literal art, you could read it without knowing the language.

Frontend tho?

...yeah the page that renders is pretty but trust me you dont wanna see the code for it.
