Who is he, a “full-fledged frontender”?

Question

css

Question from the Bayan-Babayan series. But let's discuss it again. What do you think is the minimum required to know a full-fledged front-end developer? Should he also be a designer, be able to draw a design on Photoshop, create a design, etc.?
PS We are just arguing with a friend here: he says that a full-fledged frontender should also be a designer, the argument is that website development consists of two parts (frontend, backend) and the design should relate to one of them, and, of course, not to the backend. He is, of course, a backender)

Answer 1

What you must know:
• HTML5, CSS3
• JavaScript (jQuery)
• Cross-browser, valid and adaptive layout.
• Know the basics of working in graphic programs (Photoshop/Illustrator etc.)
Everything else is your personal desire. Design should be handled by a designer, but you need to know some basics, cut a layout or something like that. Similarly, a designer should understand at least a little the basics of HTML/CSS.

Answer 2

Are you completely crazy there? The same questions every week. Like on the forum...
Design is programming? No
Frontend is programming? Yes
Well, where is the intersection then? And the fact that many people start about layout, about cutting the layout - does this somehow relate to design, or what?
Let a friend write an IDE for himself, and then make a backend in it. Then you will draw a design, and then make it up / make it dynamic.

Answer 3

The front-end developer should be able to layout according to the layout: HTML + CSS, know client technologies: JS Also, the ability to work with JQuery and Bootstrap frameworks, for example, will be a plus. A front-end designer does not have to be, unless of course he is a freelancer)

Answer 4

To be honest, I did not really understand what a "full-fledged frontender" is. A person who alone will make the entire front-end (architecture, code, design, layout, layout)? It seems to me that this is from the science fiction section, a quality product (we still take into account normal projects, not crafts) will not work - in life everyone should do their own thing. The designer draws, the coder typesets, the programmer writes the code.
Of course, intersections of professions are possible, who argues, but it is best to divide the work into parts and let different people do it for professionals in their field. Therefore, the concept of "full-fledged" loses all meaning, as well as "frontender".

And the one who argues with you is not the boss by any chance?
