Back in my day - I say, while holding up my wrinkly old lady finger - I taught myself HTML and CSS. That was Frontend. Now it's so many things. When I read job descriptions it sounds like Fullstack to me. And now that I am in a retraining program, when it was about time to apply for an internship, I said "I want to do Frontend". Because really that is where I feel most comfortable, even if I am not sure anymore what it means exactly.
Now I have started that internship, it's a Frontend role with a tech stack of React, Typescript, fluentUI and SPFx. This is not a complaint but I don't really do anything with CSS and most of my problems are logic based TypeScript things. When I visit my classmates who are also interns at the same company (like the one next door to me) they do either Java or C# with Angular and are supposedly in a backend position (which I also learned how to use). But really they seem to be doing more (S)CSS and HTML than I am. Is that normal?
What does "Frontend" mean to y'all?
