All the frontend engineers I know are in it for the money these days. There's very little passion for building UIs that don't pull down a 6 figure income.
There’s very little passion for writing any original front-end code of any kind unless you are doing it for yourself.
Honestly what revolutionary thing are you gonna do on the web with a 2d screen? Why waste hundreds of hours of your life doing it unless you enjoy it. Just paid paid son.
