It doesn't for me and I don't think that my subculture of computing uses similarly myopic terms.

And it's okay. It doesn't mean it should be this way for everyone else.

It is pretty common (and been so for at least two decades) for web devs to differentiate like so: backend, frontend or both. This "both" part almost always is replaced by "full stack".

When people say this they just mean they do both parts of a web app and have no ill will or neglect towards systems programmers or engineers working on a power plant.
