I still don't understand why backend developers are been paid more than frontend developers even though frontend development is harder than backend development I just don't get it.....

Backend captures the entire business logic. It's like asking why a shoemaker earns more than a shoe shiner (cobbler)

Because it's harder.
Ask full stack developers.

Which one is backend capturing the entire business logic...... In fact that your example is actually the reverse u backend developers are actually the shoe shiner and we the frontend developers are the shoemaker coz we create the product while u people just come from nowhere to just come and be updating one yeye database and throwing request from one place to another place base on CRUD in fact u guys are the shoe shiner

Oh! I remember you now.

If you read through that thread you'd know the question wasn't directed to me rather it was for the fellow who claimed he was done officially with CSS, you in this case.

Front end is definately difficult than backend. Not that much in backend, jst fetching, updating of database(mongodb, mysql, etc), creating a different port, and so on.

Only someone who hasn't done backend development will say frontend is harder

Design database models and relations
Authentication
Security
Errors handling
Validation
Business logic
Request handling so server doesn't shutdown under heavy load
Real-time data with socket-io and websockets


This is like the basics of backend.... I've seen people write about things that leave me bewildered; Monolithic and microservices and other things that's just complex.

Isn't frontend just JS, CSS and HTML/JSX.... UI designers even do the designs, and plus a ton of CSS and JS frameworks

Not to start a war but have you really done backend seriously before?

I think basically is about the demand, theory of demand and supply comes to play, there to many front-end devs to back-end due frontend is first place you land while starting the journey while back-end tends to be after you know html, CAD and javascript most devs just love to see what the do especially devs from graphics background.so basically is just supply of front-end superseds the back-end demands .

lol.well I have been coding on both back and front end. I can tell you that both have same degree of complexity depending on the actual task that is been performed. back end gets higher pay because of low supply of back end developers. everybody just dey for front end

I hate this programming dichotomy but only a front end programmer will tell you backed is just CRUD.

Have you ever integrated a payment gateway, have you ever hosted a website on a live server, I'm not talking static websites now.

Have you ever performed a CRON job?

Buying a nylon to cover the Bread is okay but the bread is more important

The data is more important (security, and the rest)

This is another way we make some cool stuffs online @[/b],
To answer your question....
[b]Backend programmers are paid more simply because they handle way more.
Frontend deals with only a few aspects of development: CSS, HTML, and JS.
And more about Front end web development is a good job for those interested or into it.
Front-end web development is an exciting career because it's always evolving and constantly changing.
This means you will always have the opportunity to interact with new tools and learn new skills,
keeping you engaged in your career.
It's a field that provides many opportunities for hands-on learning.
You can never go wrong in it.
Coming from the people that have been there, done that.

People are probably paid according the relevance of the skill set they are bringing to the environment.

Also if u mistakenly observed that, It might be because Back End developers are usually full stack who just decided to concentrate on back end for now.

The possibility of using them to augment front end when the mission is critical might be a plus.
