Gcc and make? Server management? Interesting.
Anyway, I could never understand the meaning of this new buzzword. Can anyone explain what does a "full stack" developer mean? Is it something from the web world?
- herval 11y agoIt usually just means "Javascript coder with a decade of experience in <random frontend framework that exists for 6 months> and nodejs"
- timrichard 11y agoHehe. I'm currently working on a "full stack" contract as a solo developer, where the mandated stack is AngularJS on the frontend and NodeJS on the backend. I like it a lot. The only thing I'd swap on the gig is MongoDB. Other than that, I've been programming for 35 years (started on 8-bit micros when I was eight). At the last reckoning, I've racked up over twelve different languages on four different operating systems. I've programmed IBM mainframes, DEC minicomputers, PC servers, Linux set-top boxes and smartphones. I've caught a tan from the glow of IBM 3270's, Wyse 50's, DEC VT220's, and am currently very happy with NodeJS on my Macbook with AWS as a deployment option (which I refer to as "the mainframe"). You should be careful before labelling people.
- herval 11y agoNot labeling anyone, just the use of the buzzword - not sure why you drew that conclusion (edit: your current gig fits exactly the "lazy caricature". The irony!)
- timrichard 11y agoSo what did you mean by the lazy caricature? A lot of developers are solely responsible for the presentation, server and DB layers.
