My boss...

With `Back-End` he understands `the Dashboard`. The system that is used only from company's employees.

`Front-End`, the software that is used by our customers.

I have explained him many times that he was wrong, but he seems to use this term. And now I have to use these terms like him.

Our company use those terms too.

Front-end is the part where it handles the traffic
Middle-end is the databases, APIs
Back-end is the UI, dashboards

But I'm more familiar with front-end being the UI. Due to that every time, I have to change my terms inside the company and outside.

"The Boss." at one of the companies I worked for (a web dev and merchandising studio for MLM companies)... He was a Chinese guy who only cared about fancy appearances and titles. "Promotions" to him meant a fancy new title, not a fancy new raise.

But I digress.

He insisted on calling our website templates "the bridge" -- I still have no idea how that made sense to him.

But whatever. We called anything and everything relating to that templating system "the bridge" during our meetings, and he nodded with great understanding every time. And every time there were many smh's back in the dev cave.

Doesn’t he mean backoffice?

@rutee07 The comment section made my day. I love you guys.

DON'T, he has a knowledge issue, not you.
I would rather bother him every time with the definitions than having to become as ignorant as him.
