Some call it code. Some call it markup. "code/markup"? But then we
have front-end and back-end stuff mixed, which doesn't make sense in
terms of how web developers tend to separate themselves.
(I only recently became a "developer." I used to be a "designer" -- I
haven't changed anything about how I work. And I still don't feel like
a developer. Or a designer. I feel like a "builder.")

Articles can have multiple categories. Javascript(ECMAscript!) may be
code, but may or may not be back end. What is AJAX? Front-end or
back-end???
And then there are databases and servers...
We have a lot of legacy stuff that is what it is... so I'm not sure
radical changes would work for us. (?)
That's why I put this out to the list... this issue needs a lot of heads
put together on it I think.
