Well, I always said that when I was doing freelance work. The great thing about doing back-end-y DevOps consulting is there's no feedback. There's no UI complaints.

It's insane, actually. For what our skill sets are, the amount of front-end work that we do is kind of crazy. Someone explain this to me. Does nobody else want to do it? What? Are we just too agreeable? You care. You just can't not care about it.
