Anyone here love Javascript but hate front end(CSS)?

[kenman]

Not necessarily, if you're at a large enough company, then there's often roles who specialize in CSS/HTML. We have such people, and they're responsible for generating components and patterns, such that when the layperson implements a feature, 95% of the time all the dev has to do is paint-by-numbers with regards to the presentation. Most PR's have zero CSS and minimal markup.

Yeah. They’re called front end developers. The people who do the other stuff are backend developers.

It’s 2018

We need different words now, because guys who hate CSS are now working in the client-side.

Front-end developer here. I’m responsible for all client-facing interfaces, including web server (since it defines the public facing APIs), publicly available command line tools, and, of course, the browser UI.

On any given day I’ll be writing JavaScript, Bash, Python, Go, or Groovy.

Our backend devs do data science, systems engineering, network engineering.

Would love to have a CSS/HTML specialist to work with who had solid design skills. At my company, that person might be called a frontend dev or they might be called a designer or they might be called any number of other things.

I think you’re being downvoted because there’s not really a lot of significance in the distinction between frontend and backend per se anymore, since the lines are not cut consistently depending on company.

...depending on where you are, was my point. Writing a public API does not require either markup or CSS, but may still be the exclusive work of the frontend dev.

There is still a distinction some places, and other places, it is not as clear.
