That delineation is all but gone in some apps. Elixir liveview for instance, has not concept of front or backend. It's all socket, so there's no break.

I agreed it makes it harder in places. Like when I (as a be dev) have to write JS hooks, or the JS dev's on the team have to interact with the database.

I find I'd rather code in a RESTfull code base than a socket system. I miss the lines.
