That's how I feel configuring networking and load balancers and other backend stuff. I know its essential but for some reason front end and all its quirks makes more sense to me

It makes little sense to us as well, that's why we've invented the term "DevOps", and offloaded the real work to those (mostly bearded) dudes.

That's the opposite of DevOps - that's the old model of separate development and operations teams (the "throw artifact over the wall"-model).

Eeeh, configuring load balancers and networking are not backend tasks.......

I mean yeah, that's done on the backend as well, but that's generally not what people mean with that term.

It depends on the developer. Myself I like to get in touch with where my code is deployed. So I like to do that stuff myself but most of the time there Is somebody dedicated to that.
