I don't want to do front-end anymore

I sympathize differently: I just want to work. Change for change's sake gets really, really old.

In 2007, I was already long past done. DHTML [1997] and AJAX [1999] were distant memories. (Had to check wiki.) I mercifully forget what the hotness was during the final years of the Bush Admin.

Sure, some things get better. Fonts on the web are now pretty terrific. But React? Please kill me. Components? Code generation? Meta meta languages? Ya, no thanks.

But I am happy the kids are now finally rediscovering (reinventing) server side includes. Full circle.

Good times.

I think once you have been working in tech for a decade or so, you start to see the fashion show for what it is. Constant churn for the sake of it. Sure some stuff is genuinely useful, but the majority of it gets forgotten about pretty quickly.
