I mean… I've been both. I have had to punt a problem that caused FE anguish because the project is old, not the priority, and hard to make changes to.
I've also been the FE that was told that they are aware of the problem, and can't get to it for a month, so we need to at least make the UI surface the error in a better way so that the user can go to support for manual intervention.
Found the FE dev. I think there is a JavaScript library for finding ways to blame the backend.
