#its-time-for-some-speculation-on-my-partIt’s time for some speculation on my part I believe that the job duties of “back-end” and “devops” engineers will coalesce to include almost everything that “the user doesn’t see”.

The underlying idea behind this entire article is a simple one - most companies need to ship simple features more quickly.

The back-end engineer deploys new code, writes documentation, then passes the ticket off to the front-end engineer.

Just as full-stack engineers improve efficiency in full-stack engineering tasks, back-end engineers that know how to deploy infrastructure increase the efficiency in back-end tasks.
