The speaker finds front-end technologies like CSS and JavaScript to be complex and unappealing.

They enjoy working on low-level projects involving data structures, algorithms, and math.

The speaker prefers statically typed languages and is interested in projects related to file systems and data structures.

Overall, the speaker values low-level programming and mathematical challenges more than front-end development.

00:00why front end doesn't give you interest

00:01do you still have respect for those of

00:02us still interested yeah I definitely do

00:04and to be fair like most of what I did

00:06at Google was front end most of what I

00:07do even on neat code is front end stuff

00:10yeah like the UI of this was probably

00:12just as hard as doing the back end but

00:14it's just not super interesting to me

00:16and there's a lot of complexity in front

00:17end stuff that I don't know about

00:19there's a lot of different ways of

00:20rendering stuff a lot of different uh

00:22techniques I don't know I don't know

00:23what exactly it is it's like CSS

00:25obviously isn't interesting formatting

00:27blocks on a page like HTML isn't super

00:30interesting like knowing all the

00:31different ways of doing CSS like

00:33Tailwind it's cool but not interesting

00:36to me JavaScript as a language I just

00:38don't like it I don't like the fact that

00:39it's not statically typed even with

00:41typescript it's not really statically

00:43typed doing UI features it just feels

00:46like copy and paste like you already

00:47know what to do like I want to make a

00:48menu like this like I coded this menu I

00:51want it to collapse I want it to open

00:52people who are like visual they like

00:55coding stuff like this it's cool to them

00:57I think it's cool as well but like I

00:59would rather do really low-level stuff

01:01my first language was C and that's why

01:04I'm kind of biased in that way I like

01:05programming language that are similar to

01:07C what's your favorite programming

01:08language I don't know I think anytime

01:11I've been working on like a c project

01:12that's like lowlevel obviously I

01:14wouldn't code like a backend server and

01:16see it's been fun like I enjoyed doing

01:19uh operating systems those were my

01:20favorite classes in college creating

01:22like file system and reading like the

01:25iode blocks like there's a lot of like

01:27data structures and algorithms type

01:29knowledge that helps you when you're

01:31doing low-l stuff like operating systems

01:33I really like data structures and

01:34algorithms and you don't do a lot of

01:36that in front end development but more

01:38so you do it in backend or lowlevel

01:41stuff I like math I like anything that I

01:43get to do math with
