    Front end and back end are different enough that you can really specialize in one or the other. They take very different mindsets. I know how to make css obey, I don't know how to make sql performant. Its possible to have both, but not as well.

    For every front-end dev, you need 3 back-end guys and a designer.

    Programmers are not bad at our jobs, its just not a mature disclipline yet.

      I don't agree and I don't disagree, but I thinkcontext matters a lot here. Some teams and codebases need deep knowledge, some don't. Some nned sql performance, some don't. Your conclusion is only true some of the time
