Yeah, I think it's a lot easier to fix shitty JS than it is to fix shitty CSS. Every job I've had, I've fixed more than I build. If it's a 5 person startup, I'm iteratively fixing my own shit as the product pivots. If it's 30 people, I'm fixing code from that one idiot that interviewed well and turned out to be impressively terrible. If it's a 10,000 person company, I'm fixing shit from that entire division that wasn't properly managed.

On the contrary, I think it is a lot easier to fix shitty CSS than shitty JS, because CSS is not run, but specifies attributes. This makes analysis static for the most part; race conditions and similar bugs usually do not occur.
