Being able to control a fuller stack allowed me to express my digital creativity better.
For instance, what I could do, but I won't: Build a backend REST api, with a nice interface in javascript etc. Then hook it up to my own server, open some ports and run some websockets or mqtt. Then design some hardware and solder it together. Write some software to the hardware so it can send messages through mqtt to the server. At that point I could start thinking about home-automation. So then you could start a NativeScript or whatever project and hook it to your services and start switching off the lights at home for example.
And I personally think the stack also includes being comfortable doing photoshop, illustrator stuff and also being able to do some video editting and 3d modelling.
The transition to a fuller stack is probably not a choice, but some natural thing that comes from a person's need to build stuff without bothering other people.
The last decades were fun, so I hope for the future decades that the fun will stay and that the stack will grow and creativity will flourish.
I have started as backend developer, slowly transitioned into frontend developer. And now I want to be full stack as this would give more freedom and date and better api/graphql growth. Unfortunately there are a lot of backend developers who have small or none of understanding how browsers and other clients work. And frontend developers expertise may be very useful.
I understand you. It's amazing that you have this will to transition to a fullstack developer 👍
Well, sometimes people want just to do their job and not dive in details deeper.
frontend is absolutely great. Without it, the rest would be invisible. Back in the days when I did Flash, I was so happy that I had one interface in which code, design and animation all came together.
Both, front end and back end are equally important. Because without one the value of other is zero. This is not a good idea to think which one is better, because that will harm the relationships between developers. And that will not contribute to the success of your product, business, career, etc.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Thank you for the detailed response! 🙏Yes, I agree, that being a fullstack developer gives you autonomy and freedom to do your best work 🙂
Wow. Look at this. It's just amazing the amount of things that a full stack developer can do but... Still, I love frontend stack
Me either ✌️The more we know, the more we are competent and productive 🙂
