i feel like surprisingly, front end work which used to be viewed by programmers as "easier" is now more difficult of the two, because it's where LLMs suck the most

you get a link to a figma design and you have to use your eyes and common sense to cobble together tailwind classes, ensure responsiveness, accessibility, try out your components to make sure they're not janky, test out on a physical mobile device, align margins, padding, truncation, wrapping, async loading states, blah blah you get it

LLMs still suck at all that stuff that requires a lot of visual feedback, after all, you're making an interface for humans to use, and you're a human

in contrast, when i'm working on a backend ticket ai feels so much more straightforward and useful
