Amusingly, agency I work with is having trouble crafting a job description to attract a narrower frontend focus. They want someone who would be excited to spend 80% of their time on html/css with maybe 10-20% of their time on light design or some minimal amount of JS (alpine). Unfortunately the same things we've seen from "full-stack" - which has seemed to translate to "70% backend + 29% frontend JS frameworks + 1% CSS if I have to" - seem to now apply to frontend folks too. Namely they "can" do CSS, but they really don't want to. Finding folks who really excel at HTML/CSS, who can quickly craft well thought out responsive layouts seems to be near impossible to hire for =/
