its good but avoid the transition to back-end at all costs.
most """back-end"" these days is legacy garbage trying to interface one elegant system with another elegant system, in the most inelegant means possible. its a shitshow from my experience.
Gabriel Watson
you forgot to add that it's still better than front-end

Fine if you know HTML/CSS and build mostly static sites for small/medium companies.
If you are building more "interactive" Web2.0 sites, then it is a javascript shit show. For example, I had to look into PWA technology lately and... it has zero technological methods to it, it only gives you a javascript cache to write into. Everything else, you have to manage by hand, in javascript, making all links on the website be an ajax call in a service worker that write to cache, and handle cache reading in case there is no network connection. You are at the point that you have to implement CLICKING A LINK in javascript.

it is fine when you use vanilla js and modern html and css and treat http like it was originally designed

100% this but I still enjoy it a lot more than front end but that might genuinely be because I have a masochism fetish idk.
You ever tried to write an interface between hubspot (dumb marketing platform that sucks up a user's data through scary cookies) and visual foxpro (the latest and final version was released in 2007). I actually came up with a fairly elegant set of interfaces and I don't think I'd have been able to do it if I hadn't been wearing my programming socks.

Because finding it is too hard.

the closer you are to being solely responsible for the HTML and CSS, the comfier it is.
the more you have to work with ever-changing javascript libraries, which is what always ends up happening, the more you'll hate life.

I have a front-end interview in a couple days and I haven't done web dev in a long time.
Any recommendations on the best way to cram?

front end is a waste of time, go for the back end
Leo Gonzalez
Front end devs are poorly paid monkeys compared to backend/fullstack SDEs or DevOps.

Frontend is literal fucking cancer.
Enjoy brittle build setups and fucking transpiling javascript.
Front end fags are the niggers of development

I love it though

I have been using it for about 2 years now, and I've pushed it enough that we're using it at work as well. It has been slowly getting better and better, Evan is autistic but he knows how to make comfy APIs. Also 0.19.1 is getting released soon so we'll get even more perf gains.
