> I like writing front end code. I'm probably never going to have a job where i need or would even want to write a low level graphics library from scratch. Fine, I'm not red-eyed 3am hacker brained, but I'm passionate and good at what i do.

Keep that spirit! All I want from coworkers is genuine interest and curiosity. Not everyone is going to find investigating Linux’s networking stack interesting, just as not everyone is going to find making beautiful pure CSS animations interesting. I think one of the greatest mistakes the tech industry did was to create “full stack,” as though someone would have interest and skill in frontend, backend, and infra. Bring back specialists; we’re all better for it.
