Hello!
I would like to understand in general terms what tasks it is worth taking on, what kind of work to prefer to do, and what things you should not do in order to more or less pump over as a programmer (web)?
For example: everywhere they write that layout is the bottom, it's not serious, and in general it's not programming. And here I agree completely. Approximately the same opinion exists about stretching the layout on the CMS.
Some even say that developing on frameworks is not serious either. And here is where it gets debatable.
So how to distinguish (or learn to distinguish) "flies from cutlets" if it is possible to choose customers / tasks?

that layout is the bottom, it's not serious

This is written by idiots and schoolchildren.
Cross-browser layout is quite a difficult task.
And those who say that this is the bottom, let them lay out a couple of cross-browser adaptive layouts for me in a couple of hours.

well @AnneSmith

competent layout can save a programmer from 20 percent of the work of returning or removing indents, rulers, alignment and other garbage
with the help of competent css, a lot of tasks are solved without programming in javascript
development on frameworks is serious when you understand what is at stake, that is, you see where you are language and where is the framework
to learn how to work, you need to start working

1. The one that is still difficult for you to do
2. The one that interests you
1 and 2 must match

layout is ... not programming

In general, they write correctly, just look in the dictionary " what is layout ".
But a frontender can’t do without this skill, and even on the backend, you should at least understand the basics.

what a strangely stupid approach
serious tasks are apparently easy to evaluate in time, if you do a task for half a year, then apparently the task is serious
, well, in the layout, good progers also have good
price tags, there are so many projects for the standards, but there is no one to typeset as always.

Serious work is everything that concerns working on a technical task from scratch (on which you can then create a project!).

If not the bottom, then why are there 50-60 responses to layout projects and typesetting for a penny? And they don't make it bad.

Get a job and start bringing real value to real people.
We're all here for this after all...

All the complexity of the tasks originates from the architecture of the project, the more complex the design of the program, the higher the complexity of the tasks and the more expensive its maintenance in terms of resources. This is if we are talking about programming.
About the layout, I also can’t say that everything is simple there, but it’s much easier to figure it out.
In short, this layout is like digging in a garden bed, pulling out a weed, and programming is already a greenhouse with customized irrigation, lighting, and all this is programmed by you.
