> My manager today was wondering if that's particularly efficient, to which I replied "he knows how to program".

That’s seems an off-axis question to me. “These devs are expensive and a constraint on our growth. I want to hear more tappy-tappy…”

What’s the alternative if you have a good backend programmer and an excess of front-end work at the moment? Have the backend plow further ahead? Move items that “belong” in the front-end to the backend just for dev capacity reasons? Decide your architecture based on which devs are free in a given sprint?

That backend dev might be 50% as efficient and still result in more total value delivered.

Alternatively, one could go with a one-person framework [1]. In addition to Rails, I think Phoenix is pushing in that direction. On the JavaScript side, Remix and Blitz are interesting, though I generally don't like the SPA approach. I don't see frameworks in other mainstream languages, such as Django, Spring, or ASP.NET Core, trying to unify front-end and back-end like Rails and Phoenix are.
