> Frontend projects are very repetitive.

I’m sorry, what? This is such a shit take, I don’t even know where to start. What’s repetitive about them? That all UIs contain buttons or what?

If this is something that people actually believe, I can understand why UX has went to shit and then got even worse since the 90s.

Frontend developer here, frontend projects are incredibly repetitive. It is still wild to me that a complete set of UI controls that you can customize isn't native to all browsers. I can't count how many sortable / filterable tables I've implemented. I would much rather 99% of web UIs I work on that are essentially a series of forms be automated away to work on much more interesting things.

Listen, frontend developer, there's this thing called "npm", you should look that up.
