Discussion on: Being A Full Stack Web Dev is Kinda Crazy

Full stack teaches the attitude of "I can figure this out". This knowledge is the bare minimum of what one needs to build a modern application alone. It IS crazy, and it's incredible to be a generalist. That said, humans work SO well when the specialists and generalists work together.

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

Full stack dev's are the jack of all trades in web dev. I'd certainly trust a design team to get the UX just right, more than I could. I'd certainly trust a DB admin to get the schemas all laid out correctly. Even if I could design and normalize an okayish one myself.

But if you just need it done, a full stack dev should be able to help out with a majority of less intensive and specific tasks in any part of the stack. IMHO.
