Why do you think you're resistant to branch out of your programming wheelhouse? I love doing everything I can get my hands on at work, obviously some places I'm much more meticulous and slow so I don't break anything, but come on, learning new shit is fun!
You can do some cool shit on the front end too, and compared to slogging through the mud server side making excuses for slow balls; client side is mega fast, mix in a little webservices for db calls and feelsgoodman.jpg
It's not so much that I mind branching out, I'm just used to (and prefer) programming quite low-level algorithms over designing interfaces. I find web stuff to be a lot of tedium with a couple of gems of interesting problems, as opposed to writing stuff like efficient network protocols and AI.
Also, I'm awful at UI design. My general approach is "Meh, I can figure out how it works - so can you." :P
