How long did it take Twitter to finally clean up most of their "operational details"?
While being able to do a first pass of a working app from front end to back end is something many can do, planning for the unexpected, scaling, understanding edge cases and where things may break (including diagnosing problems in off the shelf components), digging deep into AWS issues, etc. Require a depth of skill and knowledge very few can actually achieve across a wide breadth.
- dkarapetyan 11y agoCorrect. That is why I agree with this post. The term "full-stack" is meaningless. What people really mean is "frontend/backend generalist" which in the current ecosystem means knowing a framework for the frontend and another for the backend. If you go for the true meaning of "full-stack" then no one fits the description because the modern stack is just way too complicated. Just figuring out what the hell your CPU cache lines are doing is already a full-time job in and of itself.
