The divide between frontend and backend developers is correlated with the notion of horizontal slicing. We find that we can be much more effective by slicing vertically if not under time constraints, because what we produce in a unit of work is also testable and, most importantly, provides business value by itself. This can only work out if everyone is at least willing to work in styling code, frontend code, backend code, infrastructure code.
