The downside of this is that you get a lot more "can you add this or change that? Should be easy :-)". Non-technical folks think that because they can see frontend work they know more about it.
Maybe I've had bad experiences but I consider the fact that the backend's work can't be easily seen by the business people an advantage.
- scalesolved 9y agoYou make a good point! Non-technical folks are certainly less likely to suggest how to tackle a backend problem. I think though the backend really suffers in the sense that is not seen and not heard unless there is an emergency in many cases.
