Discussion on: Is it okay for not to be great at FrontEnd as a Full-Stack Developer?

Couple of thoughts for you. Look for jobs in API focused teams. The front end is then JSON not HTML and far easier to test. Microservices could be a good area for you to look into?

If stuck for options and end up in a job where front end dev work is expected, try to specialize in front end engineering. Learn how to craft great code using modern JS frameworks like React etc and leave the CSS to others who are more skilled in UX and UI development.

Yes, that's why I am learning React now and I'm preferable to focus on JAM stack-oriented apps now rather than a normal/monolith stack.

Nice. Hadn't heard of the term but jamstack.org seems like good stack to focus on.
