Jeremy Zawodny commented on something I’ve felt for a long time – client side web development is hard work and doesn’t get the respect it deserves.
The work I do mostly focuses on things behind the scenes. Like Rafe, early on I made the decision that it is where I could be most successful and apply my talents. While I have a familiarity with the basics of client side development, and do it when called for, I have extreme respect for those on our staff that wrestle with its complexity everyday.
