> Almost never have a met a person who was equally good at both.
Doesn’t that say more around your surroundings? I’ve definitely met people that were equally competent at both (and more competent than most). A lot of things that are important on the front-end are equally important on the back-end and vice versa. Lets add databases and infra while we are at it.
The thing is, you need an actually senior engineer for that. Not some kid right out of college that is somehow called a principal.
