Plenty of digital agencies do frontend work across multiple delivery platform formats
I don’t doubt that. But, if they advertise a need for “front end developers”, that would strongly imply web developers. I would definitely be surprised if they advertised a position for a “front end developer”, I applied and during the interview they asked questions about Windows Forms development.
Hey guys, I am the person behind this website. Please know that it is still in progress. I wanted the initial version out so it is just the "roadmap" images for now. However, I am working on making these roadmaps more accessible for the beginners and easier to contribute to. In the list of things planned for the coming week is the textual version for each with different sections (job-ready, intermediate, advanced, ov…

Frontend roadmap completly ignores everything that isn't a Web browser. So no Qt, wxWidgets, Android, iOS, WPF, Forms, UWP, WinUI, GNOME, KDE, ...
Mobile and Desktop are different beasts from Web Frontend and require different (although related) skillsets.
These lists are so depressing. Is there any other career where people are expected to know 100 things just to be an employee at the bottom of the food chain? I won't be surprised if it is harder to be a Full Stack Developer than to be a CEO of a multi-national corporation. Looks like we are pushing everything to Developers. Developers of the future are going to need a fulltime pyschologist to cope with this ever incr…
CEO is a hard role not because of domain area but because of risk and uncertainty, both of which tend to be low when you're "at the bottom of the food chain."

Doctors, lawyers, and real engineers at least have similar or more broad domains they must be experts in, or people die. CEO is a hard role not because of domain area but because of risk and uncertainty, both of which tend to be low when you're "at the bottom of the food chain."

Be prepared to be surprised then.
I’m not saying that no one wants desktop developers - they just don’t refer to them as “front end” developers.
Windows Forms or any windows desktop development was already losing favor when I was looking for a job in 2008 after being at one company for almost a decade.
Now in 2019, any developer who cares about his career will run screaming the other way if a company even mentions that they are doing desktop software unless they can get a job with Microsoft or Adobe.

Edit: For example I make a living doing web development and rarely using a framework or a package manager in my projects. Knowing their value sure helps in a CTO like role, but you can deliver real value and state of the art websites and apps without them.
