    Feels man. I have to advertise myself as front-end but my true joy is DevOps and backend fo sho. So much easier to find work in front end right now.

    @taigrr too bad. Ideally, mo one should be coerced into working in stuff they don't like. But one has to pay the bills...

    We are on the same boat man...I am a backend guy but most of my work are related to frontend

    I got into hardware! Embedded / IoT. Backend 4life homes.

    Welcome. We use angular and Cordova.

    Well. The company is great and I guess I make money. And as es6 grows, frameworks may disappear.

    And working on full slices (full-stack stories) really eliminates blockers.

    Excited to try loopback.io + json schema forms. Might save us a ton of work to have the back-end drive the front-end (for once).

    What a lucky man I am that I love front-end

    As a front-end developer, please, I beg you, protest as much as you can.

    I'd say I can be a good middleman, I also love to do more conceptional backend shit.

    BUT, don't do front-end if you're not in it. Makes me even more angry to extend some crappy script a backend wrote and someday I will murder your damn bogy scripts.

    Not to be mean, but you do backend for a reason, that's why I do the other side.
