Yeah, I've felt for a while that we need to start ditching the terms 'front-end' and 'back-end', as there is no way to use these terms anymore without following up with an explanation of what this means.

I've been primarily a 'browser developer', with most of my time spent in the Chrome dev tools, editing css, html and 'light' javascript. I call myself a front-ender for this reason.

However, over time I find that I prefer the 'real' programming stuff over battling browser quirks and pumping out html/css structures that I learned over time are optimal. I gravitate more and more to what amount to full web apps where I do stuff that requires, to a degree, 'real' programming beyond just a javascript/jQuery widget.

That's where the real division is, I think. As I get into more and more complicated development, I become more aware of my limitations and my lack of formal training.

This reached a point where calling myself a 'front-ender' is starting to feel less and less applicable, because there's a huge divide between many front-enders I know who are not really programmers, and what I am in the process of becoming, and calling myself a front-ender feels like underselling myself.
