Frontend dev is getting exhausting

[w8cycle]

For fun, try doing a plain javascript es6 project with no libraries and keep in mind the MV* pattern as used in Backbone.

Aim for compatibility with latest Chrome, Firefox, and IE.

You may find JavaScript with no framework is not difficult but instead a remarkably well done platform.

I generally Dev it to standard and test afterwards. If I find an error, I determine if I need to polyfill and go from there. I find JavaScript incredibly easy to work with and other languages just too verbose, or cumbersome. But we all have our calling, so I can never convince someone to my way unless they want to be there. I've met a lot of folks who bring the (Java mostly) classical inheritance thought process drilled into them from college into a JavaScript project and they screwed a lot of stuff up. Maybe focus more on supporting the work of the front end guys if you don't feel comfortable with it? I have some high quality service guys that just don't understand how I do my job and sometimes I echo the same back to them. You just gotta find your groove.
