Frontend development, as a standalone, takes the larger chunk of the time and even mental effort.

Visually, the small things take a lot of time to get right with minimal CSS.

Handling state in a large application is its own mountain of code in many instances.

Then, there's the User Experience part that demands offline caching, graceful recoveries, persisting data on the client without compromising security, code splitting, server rendering, to mention a few.

But as has been said, developing org level standards or 'templates' for doing things significantly reduced the engineering involved for everyone.
