Funny, most people I've talked to said that the backend code usually is better structured and written, while the frontend (web and games) was a hot mess

A significant percentage of developers regard frontend dev as a branch of the Arts, and therefore not "proper" software engineering.

I once had a fresh grad Junior complain to me about being given a frontend ticket, because they wanted to be writing Real Code and apparently thought they were too good to learn how to change the margin on a div.

Saying “front end is not proper software engineering” is bullshit but at the same time if you hire someone to write code and then ask them to write CSS I can understand being frustrated.
