There are a lot of jobs for product, and a lot fewer jobs for infra. You can bootstrap your way into Frontend a lot faster, and in theory, you only need one “expert” to enable/review for a larger group and sorta keep things on the rails.
People follow the reward structure. If you’re trying to get into programming, boot camps and Frontend are a fast and relatively efficient way to do so.
I’ve been a “Frontend” dev for more than a decade (I remember being excited about a new library called jQuery and how many problems it solved). It’s been great watching the industry shift toward taking UI/UX more seriously, but it’s been horrifying watching software quality tank in the name of slamming out badly-A/B tested features faster and faster.
Maybe one day I’ll find another job where the focus is on the craft, but at the moment the money is coming in elsewhere.
