Yesterday I was asking a general question, about issues when building we apps. Few of us discussed challenges such as: unclear initial requirements, balancing functionality and UX, handling growing demands, security, and cross-browser compatibility. I'm really curious about frontend development specifically. What do you think is the biggest stuggle? Do you think there's any possibility of automating certain aspects of it?

CSS frameworks and pre-processors can automate many styling, layout, and browser compatibility difficulties, but keeping up with responsive design principles and guaranteeing consistent performance across devices and browsers is another challenge.
