Front end dev fully turned towards the back end dev, drinking a juice box, happy to let them take all the attention so no one asks him difficult questions like why a deprecated component (the green bike's chain) is hanging around creating a potential safety hazard while doing nothing useful. Back end dev awkwardly skirting the matter of a snowballing reliance on SQL stored proc spaghetti until finally one matter arises on which they can both speak confidently and in unison. How does this clusterfuck stack fit together? "REST API".
