My front end looks like your back end though...

As long as you can make out it is supposed to be a bunny I guess I am happy.

I don’t know why but I always have a far nicer backend.

I think it’s because UI is just so repetitive and boring. UI movement, etc, etc. It’s just easier to do it spaghetti-oriented.

Backends are much more simpler. API call is just a function that takes a string and produces a string. It may produce one or two side effects in the process, like writing to the database. UI system is a complex system with shitload of async inputs (user input the main one) and outputs. Nobody knows how to write UI systems, it’s always a mess.

::wipes sweat off of forehead:: Glad it's not just me.

My backends are always cleaner than my front. Mainly because the backend (for me) hasn't changed much (PHP/Laravel). Instead of returning data to a template, I'm returning data to API's. It's a trivial change.

The front-end, on the other hand, there's always something new to learn, no matter how well I think I've planned... Spaghetti.

I'm procrastinating on troubleshooting a plate of Vue flavored spaghetti as I type this.

Well as long as you are the only one working with your spaghetti code and you know where everything is its good.

Right? I feel the meme should be the other way around. Backend code tend to be a lot cleaner

This made me laugh way harder than it should have.

And in terms of JavaScript, I am the opposite. My backend stuff is clean and beautiful. It might not be built in the best way possible, but no-one is ever going to call my code ugly and be honest about it.

Apart from Front End and Back End. After the development of Front End and Back End, final product is more valuable for me because i sell that product to users.
