"Full stack" is the philosophy hyped by poor startups that can't afford to hire proper frontend and backend specialists. Quite frankly, the concept is overrated.
There are many excellent backend devs who are half-baked at frontend, and vice versa. You can't be an expert of everything, but being an expert at one thing is the most gratifying gift you can give to yourself.
Knowing everything makes you a handyman. Excelling in one field makes you an engineer.
💯💯 And most of them aren't even embarassed to admit that. Except that they act as if it's a good thing! 🤣 (e.g. "We want someone to be able to do both to minimise communication within a project")
This wouldn't be so much of a problem if they'd also give you a higher pay in exchange of doing the work of two people at once.
haha yeah. Two specialists who both have good communication and collaboration skills, even with the constant back and forth meetings/discussions/debates etc. would still be more productive and efficient than a single "full stack" dev who occasionally struggle with a problem that they lack in-depth knowledge on.
