You need to be able to do layout design to do good ux. The visual presentation is a critical aspect of usability. Also backend code needs to be consumable future readers (including the author). That's something that is very often lost and you get terrible unorganized backed code.

This is kind of what I meant. Appearance isn't just colours and alignment, but also things like flow, organisation and layout. I can make the data theoretically accessible, but with all that stuff I'm completely out of my depth.

Write-only code can be an issue for either, while on the other hand complexity theory, big data structures and high math make me think backend.
