Oh, well - the question is rather critical of my lot.

Front-end engineers and back-end engineers are two sides of the same coin. I personally feel it's easier to write backend code and it's the UI/Front-end guys who have a hard life and I admire them for that. Just the sheer randomness they have to deal with (I am talking about IE here :P). Or coding the awesome user experiences. It's a tough trade to learn.

On the other hand, with the backend code, it's just fetching data, modifying data, hitting a third party API or firing a message to a microservice. Not a lot of uncertainty, so to speak. As long as the code I write scales, my job is done.

Sai Kishore Komanduri, Somasundaram Ayyappan and Alkshendra Maurya can vouch for the fact that I love them. :D

I think it's a because back in the day... ( pre-2000 - 2005 ) the front-end was just about css and html... not a lot about js... there was no, as today , front-end developer but a lot of front-end integrator... So the backend Dev talked about the front end a little bit like it was too easy not real programing... and that was true in that day... but now like Siddarthan Sarumathi Pandian said the front end dev is now more complicated that backend dev.
