I love frontend better, because its more visual. You can express your artistic side. You can touch on design, animations, 3D. For those who are wondering wich path to choose, if you are more artisticly inclined, go for the frontend , and if you like more problem solving, logic go for backend.

Have been a front end engineer for 9 years now, I still love it as much as when I started, although I've had periods of burn out for sure. If you are someone who finds traditional computer science boring but still love writing code, and you have an eye for design, you will thrive in front end development.

I love the opportunity to work remotely via front end which is what made me make a career change

[@metanoia6033]

Can totally relate. When I was doing fullstack before, there was a lot of resistance especailly that our task were more on the backend. The only reason I tried to convince myself to keep on doing fullstack is because I felt function is more important than design, and that somehow became my self-validation to society. But I wasn't happy doing all those functional backend stuff. I know things can work without aesthetics and probably, design is just going to be secondary, but I really feel alive using my artistic skills and I feel I can pour more of me here, so yeah, I'm going for frontend.

[@MagusMarte]

How is everything going 9 months later?

[@metanoia6033]

@@MagusMarte I stopped doing web dev haha. I actually transitioned now to UX design. I realized that I didn't want to code. I wanted to design for people. Not just aesthetics, but better experiences. Can do that in web dev maybe, but I felt the work is too technical and missed some user research and psychology aspect (but I'm just basing it on the opportunities that have opened for me). I'm enjoying UX right now really, way different than when I was learning and doing dev. But the learnings I had from dev definitely helped me here in UX. Like, I can take in and consider both the user and dev perspectives :)

I'm taking a full-stack web developer course and I'm enjoying it so far - I don't have a strong design background but I like the concept of building websites as I've done in WordPress and Webflow. But my question is, which major is more appropriate in terms of software development (CS vs Software Engineering)? I just want to make sure I make the right decision. Thanks.

[@nikitadziubenko4261]

i’d say they’re very similar but cs will be more theory while software engineering will be anchored towards actual coding

[@ayandak47]

Go for engineering

[@sponefromrainbow4869]

Both are same but I prefer the second one.

[@Valyssi]

Definitely software engineering for pretty much any 'practical' (i.e. industry) programming. CS is generally more aimed at research (although it will still be fine for industry as a lot of people take CS without the intention of staying in academia). Although if you're comparing between different institutes, CS may be better than SE since some institutes just have worse curriculums than others
