Not brilliant, but not rubbish. Pretty standard phrase, at least here in the UK.

- jacques_chester 15y agoThanks.
- robtoo 15y agoI'm a Brit and have never heard "middle-end" used like that. "Middling", yes. "Middle-end", no. And to answer the grand-parent: building infrastructure that will help other parts of the project -- part of why I call myself a ‘middle-end programmer’. It seems that the author is using "middle-end" in a manner analagous to the more common "front-end" and "back-end". Exactly what this involves is not entirely clear, but building frameworks, perhaps.
