The Frontend Trap: Helping Engineers Stay in Their Zone of Excellence

Details

Modern engineering teams often lean heavily on backend and full-stack developers to fill frontend gaps—but just because they can doesn’t mean they should. The result? Slower delivery, burnout, and mounting technical debt. 

In this session, we’ll unpack the growing tension between backend productivity and frontend demands. Expect a deep dive into what’s breaking, what’s working, and how to move forward with smarter tooling and clearer team boundaries. 

You’ll learn:

  • Why backend and full-stack devs are increasingly pulled into frontend work—and what it’s costing your team

  • The toll of context switching, frontend fatigue, and misaligned workflows

  • How to minimize undifferentiated frontend effort without sacrificing quality

  • Which developer-first tools can reduce friction and restore engineering flow

If you’re a backend or full-stack engineer frustrated by frontend distractions—or a tech leader eager to optimize team focus—this talk offers practical strategies to keep your builders building.
