Some observations you make I also experienced. I attributed them to working as frontend dev in a non-tech org, where it is normal to distinguish between “substantive” and “tech” colleagues.
But sounds like even tech companies, where everyone loves tech, find their ways to set up a caste system.
In my opinion, this points at deficits in the organization's management culture.
But at this point, management has probably lost their ability to spot deficits.
@collinsworth I enjoyed this a lot. As a backendie™, I see similar pressures to “just get it done”, which comes out in the endless cycles about technical debt, and so on. I don’t think our $$$ overlords see quality, anywhere, as a source of competitive advantage.
Probably the rise of tools that offer easy drag and drop for anyone to use, thinking that the point of a website is just to look nice on the first glance.
