I think it's just a cheeky joke. The point it underlies is rooted in truth - that it's really difficult to master both frontend and backend development in real life.

Yea, I find it hilarious, but I try not to take it too seriously/literally. It especially amuses me because I'm currently in a "full stack" position, but am a much stronger front-end dev.

Haha yea. It’s best to take things lightly. I must admit that part of me couldn’t from all the times of being split into two teams. And as a generalist I’m always like, “okay... uh which team should I go on? Backend or Frontend?”

P.s. more power to you that you’re a strong UI dev. CSS is hard! :)

Yea, I did laugh pretty hard. But then my stomach turned a little bit, because I know that the belief is used to drive teams to be awkwardly structured.
