maybe a bit off topic but i'm still on the fence if front end will ever be "solved".
The difference is that backend is always going to be some variation of CRUD, so the architecture isn't changing too much. front end being the actual user-facing layer means it will always evolve with human-computer interface (UX?).
Mobile phones completely changed the way we thought about frontend, and it's just time until the next big change in form factor comes... and a bunch of new frameworks will pop up
I’d say backend architecture is also changing. React is older than Kubernetes.
I do get your point though that UI dev probably sees more variation since you need to adapt to the form factor of the user’s device, which changes significantly every few years.
