"frontend" is the wrong word, he should have said "web". Writing desktop UIs or mobile apps tends to be elegant. And probably "SPA frontend" as server-side UIs are also much cleaner.


These days web/mobile is implied by frontend. I'd say a very large proportion now work on these two compared to desktop.
