My first job was at a place where their core competency where backend and databases. Bootstrap, the defacto fronted library for multiple years at the time, was something completely new to them.

UI/UX was mostly an afterthought but since the clients were large accounting companies, it didn't matter. The clients were happy with the colour blue and lots square of boxes.

I also don't have a traditional background in computer science and have been self-taught all the way which probably was also why I ended up in frontend to begin with. It was the safer place to put me.

React was just breaking away, in terms of popularity, from Angular at the time and was still in the good 'ol pre hook days. I eventually became proficient with React and would mainly write it (and JS/TS) for the next couple of years.

But, something kept happening. Everything seemed consistently out of date as new tools/libraries/frameworks were being shipped every day that you just had to use and keep up with.
