Sometimes I stoke my gray beard and sigh. It depends. Funny how such an indiscriminate answer is so acutely accurate. Both sides (all sides really — hello devops), should have an appreciation of the other. But so much depends on team size. 3? 30? 300? 3000? 30000? When a company is young, you hire generalists. Fullstack. But as you grow, the dynamic changes. Fullstack devs end up doing more one side vs the other. You hire more specialists. Team dynamics, engineering structure, product embeds, matrix orgs... so much can have an impact. What is your ratio of senior to junior? Do you document like a remote first? How orthogonal is your problem space? So many things. Not taking them into consideration is the real antipattern.
