I only had 2000 chars in the original post so I had to make cuts. I suspect I've cut some important context! The most enjoyable stuff I've done in the past few years has been with Vue and React. I've done a little of both at work and on side projects, but these projects at work are really uncommon — like once in a year sort of things.

If I'm being honest, I'm not even begrudging these experiences — I have actually, legitimately enjoyed them.

My main motivation in getting away from frontend is really getting away from client-driven front-of-frontend stuff. Constant, pointless, niggly changes. That kind of stuff.

Working with an interactive component with Vue/React, and/or working with api data definitely has been actual fun.

Appreciate your reply!

At 38 (almost 2 years ago) I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I lived a relatively healthy, "normal" life until I woke with extreme joint pain one day. The diagnosis rocked my world. I went (and am going) through the usual stages of grief. Before I was diagnosed but after the symptoms appeared I went to a bad place. After diagnosis I still mourn for my old life. When I have a "flare" (joint pain) I dive into depression, not knowing if my medication has stopped working, my condition has gotten worse or some other factor (diet, stress etc.)

I think about my disease every. single. day. I worry about my kids, and my wife. I don't want to be a burden to them, and I don't want my kids to have this horrible disease passed to them (there's a genetic factor). I worry about my future. When the pain is bad I have a hard time working (typing, using the mouse, sitting etc.) which has me thinking about what happens when I can't work at all.

I could write a novel, but I just wanted to say that in a nutshell ... life goes on. I now have a greater sense of empathy for others dealing with pain, and also realize that even your loved ones can't fully understand your pain - it's yours, and yours alone to bear.

People use Zoom because it's really reliable, not because it's "seamless."

I've been in the middle of nowhere in South Africa and could use a 3G connection on my phone to speak to people in Germany and the United States at the same time and it was reliable and useable.

Is it hard to find React developers? No. Is it hard to find good developers? Yes.
