Karleb:I know back end devs that think front-end is harder. It is not easy to design beauty. It takes a special kind of talent. Back-end is like maths. Anybody can solve maths. Front-end is like architecture. Architecture uses both sides of the brain. Architecture is harder. 4 Likes |

I don’t think front end is necessarily easy, it no longer mainly comprises of just HTML and CSS like the yesteryears but I was always under the impression that back end work was ‘harder’ than front end

CSTRR: Certainly Front End is not easy and have to deal with s or clients and their expectations. There is a lot of iteration to get the front end right and acceptable to s, so definitely not easy and no one should attempt to belittle the work that FE Developers do. 1 Like |

BigDawsNet: False. Most heavy duty APIs dont have a GUI and are used by millions of people. Can you call that useless? Using gmail as an example. with the API, backend only , i can , read emails, save emails, send emails delete emails perfectly. With just the front end alone and backend disconnected, I cannot even to gmail. Can only view the landing page, which says welcome to gmail , thats all. so you tell me which one is useless? 11 Likes |

ibkayee:Nerds like back-end. It is straight-forward. A+B=C Once you know A and B, you can get C. In front-end, you have to think about how to arrange A,B, and C to get the best possible aethestics and functionality. Front-end is harder abeg. 4 Likes |

JohnCloud: You are correct. That is why I mentioned that I demand that more of the business logic is done on the back end on my projects. You can't avoid putting some business logic on the front end in some cases. |
CSTRR: 1:33pm On Jan 19, 2021 |
Tats:Exactly. It is front-end developers that have to deal with the customers and their varying taste. I am aiming to be full stack, but front-end is no joke. 1 Like 1 Share |

chineduuf: In this case you’re not just doing the work of a backend, you’re also doing the work of a devOPS, a Software Architect and also a Quality assurance executive. But, backend itself may not be as difficult as frontend on some projects. You should also note that, there is devOPS, architecture and the likes on frontend too. None is more difficult than the other. The difficulty depends on the project. 1 Like |

A customer will tell the front-dev that they don't like the background-color of a website or the arrangement . He would have to modify and modify hundreds of codes. in the meantime, a back-end dev has done his Job and gone to sleep. 4 Likes |

CSTRR:The little front end stuff I’ve done is very basic so maybe I just don’t have enough experience in this area I have more experience with back end development and I found it more ‘heavy duty’, maybe the level of difficulty is situational I dunno |

JohnCloud: Business logic and frontend SHOULD NOT BE USED in the same sentence. If you're adding business logic to your frontend, then your design is pretty flawed and should be rewritten. You're always warned to avoid adding even a line of business logic to the frontend, Even at the the backend, the business logic has to be split into layers with each layer inside its own interface and independent/separated from other layers. 1 Like |

cixak95211: It is not flawed. It depends on the project you are working on. You are seeing frontend as just a rendering platform. Your project determines that. Example, what if based on your project you want to just use a 3rd-party to save/retrieve data and use a backend-service as a proxy? You need to work on variety of projects to understand that one does not outweigh the other, but most times the backend has to do more because more projects want to take off the heavy lifting from the frontend. Also, I understand you are going deep to DDD. This is high level logic and the context is not design, but rather comparison between frontend and backend. 2 Likes |

Well earlier, when everything was console, backend was the bomb. Trying to make these services available to the layman and the layman's need for flashy substances saw front end come in. Although some projects don't require much front end and vice versa. If a backend dev builds a bad backend, that site would suffer but not all fe are required to be complex and this also goes the other way sometimes. But I'm more inclined towards backend cause we survived without them before.

chingle5: First of all; PRACTICALLY speaking, there is nothing like Front-end and Backend developer as regards computer programing. If you are talking about a computer programmer vs Graphics designers...it will be understandable. Now to answer your questions; A company might decide to partition their programmers based on front-end and back-end on the basis of knowledge, experience and trust. Those working at the backend get more money because they handle more vital tasks such as maintenance, security and financial transactions. Those are areas the company gets its money. Should onions start dancing in those area, the whole company will be in trouble. Think of those working on front end VS back-end as cashiers VS ants in a bank. 3 Likes |
