Are UX/UI skills and experience useful for backend (php)?

Question

User interface

How knowledge and experience in UX/UI can be useful for a backend developer (php) or UX/UI will be more useful for frontend. Should the backend learn UX/UI at all, or is it better to reroll in the frontend?

Answer 1

In general, if you work in Russia, then you will need some knowledge about the front end. Knowledge of UX and UI will not be bad and a big plus in the piggy bank, as you will also think creatively. But if you answer your question directly, then no, purely php is not necessary

Answer 2

In some companies, they can simply hire a PHP clerk as an errand boy when you have to patch the backend, reconfigure the server, and fix the icon and replace the CSS.
Therefore, a general understanding will not hurt, although if PHP is of interest, I would delve into setting up operating systems, in particular nGinx, daemons, apt-get / yum install - that's all.
Personally, it happened to me.
Therefore, UI / UX can be studied, but if you want to move more into that area. Yes, Vue can help.

Answer 3

Any skills are useful, at least for general development, but with a high degree of probability there will be no practical application. On the other hand, if you want to become a full stack developer, then these skills will be very useful. I would consider this option, last year's research on the American market showed that full stack developers are becoming more and more valuable, although I have a different position on this issue. It is better to get these skills, maybe you will like it more and you will find yourself, at least.
