That's a very good definition. And by that definition I can clearly align myself to one of the two sides (front-end). I wish everyone would use it. On the other hand I think most people are using the terms a bit differently. A front-end developer is a bit of what used to be called a web designer (html/css+ "photoshop" skills) with javascript newly added that's used just for client-side UI. The backend people handle the database, business logic and everything else that's on the server. It actually seems like this world doesn't need those domain-specific algorithms people. With this definition, I prefer to work on the backend, but I can also work on the front-end.
