I always felt a little sorry for the front-end developers on their team: always under the pump when UI changes come through, and well… (whisper) the tooling. So it was a suprise to hear one frontend dev who’s starting doing backend work that he always felt sorry for us backend devs: having 10 different services that we need to change and worry about.
The grass is always greener… eh. Well, actually it’s more like the reverse: as in our grass is greener and we fell sorry for our neighbour who just can’t get a lawn established.
