IMHO there is little or not much discussion about web app designs. One of the main discussion points when interacting with experienced Back-end developers are about API endpoint call errors, if being implemented or if this is a specific code chunk or function should be best added to frontend or back end regarding a queries to pull data. The goal is to focus in retrieving the right data with the proper format(you can see data in a console log), then kindly discuss or share thoughts if there something not being displayed in the UI. It's the Front-end dev responsible for much of that task. Now, if there is no data being pulled from the database or server the Back-end dev can check it out, eg. the Spring Boot service or repository.

Talk It Out 🗣️: Set up regular check-ins where both teams can share their challenges and ideas. When everyone understands each other’s pain points, tensions ease. Clarify Who Does What 📝: Clearly define roles—who handles what, and where responsibilities overlap. This avoids confusion and helps both teams focus on their strengths. Leverage Collaboration Tools 🛠️: Use tools like Slack for quick chats or JIRA to track tasks and progress. Keeping communication smooth ensures issues get resolved fast.

To resolve clashes between front-end and back-end developers, prioritize collaboration and clear communication. Facilitate open dialogue through regular meetings to align on goals and understand each team's challenges. Clearly define roles and responsibilities to minimize overlaps and confusion. Leverage collaborative tools like JIRA or Slack to streamline communication and track progress. Fostering mutual respect and a shared vision ensures smoother teamwork and cohesive web app designs.

When front-end and back-end developers clash, I focus on fostering collaboration and aligning their goals. I start by organizing open discussions where both teams can share their challenges and expectations, promoting mutual understanding. Defining clear roles and responsibilities helps reduce overlaps and confusion, ensuring accountability. I also encourage using collaborative tools like JIRA or Slack to streamline communication and track progress transparently. By emphasizing the shared vision of delivering a seamless user experience and promoting empathy for each other’s contributions, I turn conflicts into opportunities for innovation and teamwork, ensuring the project stays on track.

1️⃣ 👂 Hear Both Sides: Facilitate a meeting where front-end (user experience) and back-end (logic/efficiency) concerns are voiced clearly. 2️⃣ 📐 Align on Goals: Focus on user needs—remind everyone that functionality and design serve the same purpose.

A front-end “consumes” a back-end. So you build the back-end first so that there’s no front-end even necessary. The product can be used purely from a back-end perspective. Then you integrate a front-end onto it to add gradients to the technical knowledge required to use the back-end. This can be as abstracted as you like. From a business analysis, product owner, backlog perspective, it tends to go: -Back end story (DoD asserts value of BE) -Front end story (DoD asserts value of FE) -Integration story (DoD asserts value nuance of BE meets FE) Other gains: -You can sell your BE as a cloud/SaaS solution or as a FE User Journey -Your solution is scalable as either FE, BE or union of both. -You can sell different FE solutions for your BE

One of the ways in which I help mitigate conflict between front and back-end developers is through promoting combined effort: Run recurrent sync calls that help in maintaining a mutual understanding of shared objectives, what difficulties the teams experience and sharing priority items. Specify separation in responsible areas to avoid overlaps that confuse. A use of applications such as JIRA, Slack, or Trello to keep track of progress and manage activity while communicating. Clearly document API specs and design criteria so as to align expectations. Reiterate that the only joint focus is on delivering the best experience to the user.

To resolve the clash between front-end and back-end developers over web app designs, foster early collaboration and clear communication. Front-end focuses on user experience and design, while back-end ensures functionality, performance, and data handling. Involve both teams from the start, share design expectations and technical constraints, and create shared goals. Use tools like design systems and version control to ensure consistency. Be open to compromise—front-end may adjust for performance, while back-end may adapt infrastructure to support UI needs. Keeping the end user as the primary focus helps both sides work together towards a seamless, functional, and aesthetically pleasing product.

When front-end and back-end developers clash over designs, I’d bring both teams together to understand each other’s needs. We’d focus on finding a balance between a user-friendly design and a solid back-end. I’d encourage early collaboration to address concerns upfront and break the issues into smaller, manageable parts. The goal is to create a solution where both sides feel heard and the end result is functional and visually appealing.
