Front end is hard. Slapping together some form elements, xhr requests, and DOM updates is easy. Building a usable, consistent UI, that makes proper user of the backend isn't. On top of that, every jackass thinks they get it because they're a user, so you get unsolicited suggestions from everywhere.

Here, I'm going to scare all the front end devs "Make it pixel-perfect to the designs"
Meh. I’d rather make pixel perfect to designs than not have designs…
Ohhh, that touched a deep well of hatred. My first engineering job was full stack and we had a highly modified Bootstrap front end. I'd build the thing they wanted, and the designers would get looped in for QA and insist that various pieces had to look like their little wireframe down to the pixel. I mean look, it's easy right?
I asked why they are insisting on constantly going against the standards that had been adopted company-wide. Did it stop? Why no! Did I get a suit down with my boss? Why yes!
He is/was a cool guy and saw my perspective but also gave me precious advice on how to survive.
It's only scary if you're incompetent.
Don't forget the long nights of overtime, redesigning that one button component for the sixth time.
Because some doofus upper level manager needs to make the project his own and the button doesn't "pop" enough.
