We started because frontend developement became a thing and we (backend devs used to languages that work and are consistent) were forced to do frontend
We probably were not living on the same planet, then, you and me. :) From what I saw, in the 2000’, there were no “backend developers” either. We were all webdevelopers, then younger people started to call us “fullstack developers” when they specialized. But the hate against javascript is way older than that. Already in the early 2000s, it was considered a malware language. It’s only when prototype.js and scriptaculous introduced web animations that people started to consider it seriously. Even then, jQuery’s main sale point was that it allowed to do the least possible amount of js. Anyway, it doesn’t matter when and why you started hating, hate is always wrong, period.

Wow, people are still showing disdain for javascript? I thought we were done with that since “frontend development” became a thing.
