On the other side of this coin, there's the extremely tiresome experience of a client that knows how to do nothing but fucking nitpick. Here I am building them something completely custom and they don't say, oh yeah, that looks really cool. It's this is wrong, that's wrong, this needs changed, that's wrong. Fuck you and the goddamn high horse you walked in on, change it yourself, you fucking retard. /end rant. Needed to vent that. Also probably why I don't do design work for a living. nostr:nevent1qqs88grq4wnnw2c63hj9exukxvtduap0ph6yy83an4wy4lhfp9treespzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qgsyfhqu9kuu877hhm5j2lkwk5478nuvgza00d3lgmjkkk9px8r57zcrqsqqqqqpvxmsxk

with back end we instead get endless features that the requestoors don't realise can cause changes that require deep and extensive rewrites. just finished one today, and a result of it is gonna be a necessity to do some deep optimization too. but i also had exp in technical support... about 10% of customers mainly just want to bitch, but usually their words are mostly empty. worst case scenario they don't call again. about 10% call you for fun.
I still prefer working on back ends. Even though I know it's kind of the same shit in both worlds.
What they think is a simple "can't you just...." is really, like you said, a deep rewrite.
