I don't really agree. Front-end web developer have totally different skill than back-end developer. In a startup where there are few employees, the front-end developer can work extremely well on "design" part of all aspect of the company.. Video sh outcast, publicity, marketing, even building design. As, back-end developer can do a lot more then back-end service.. they can work on backup, administrative unix task, optimizing task, inner-house tools, etc etc. So I think it's more like: Design=front-end, ComputerGeekStuff=Back-end.. and it's really rare to find someone that does both of those things.
