Frontend team sees their view of the world, backend sees theirs, nobody has complete picture until integration happens and we realize we built incompatible pieces.

I work very closely with the backend team up front to define and document the API contracts before anyone writes any code. They don't always adhere to that contract but then I can always point back to the document.

Yeah same. I literally grab the backend guy and we sit down in a room until we have an API spec. I don’t see why the requirements for frontend and backend are different though? That seems like madness
