Who "Wears the Hats" at companies in the Development function? It depends!
Here's a visual breakdown of roles:

There could be one person playing the front-end development function, one person playing the back-end development function, and one person playing the solutions architecture function.
There could be one person playing the front-end development function and another one person playing the back-end development function plus solutions architecture function.
