My take is that full-stack devs are proficient in frontend, backend and sysadmin work. Therefore they are well equipped for either of these roles. To convince the potential employer, I would focus on describing the specific part of my previous work - say, describe my past projects in terms of the frontend tasks, showing proficiency in this area.
- toomuchtodo 9y ago> My take is that full-stack devs are proficient in frontend, backend and sysadmin work. If you're expected to know frontend, backend, and syadmin/devops, how are you supposed to be good at any of the above? You can either be a generalist or deep dive, but there are only so many hours in a day.
- aregsarkissian 9y agoI think the main thing is to strive to be a T shape developer. Get general experience in all three areas but then get deep experience in at least one of them. So if you only have deep experience in the back end and general in the front end, that gives you an edge over other candidates that don't have the general experience when applying for a back end position
- f055 9y agoI believe the assumption that to be really good at something you have to focus 100% on it is fundamentally flawed. It only applies to people with limited capabilities, I guess. I've seen people gaining proficiency in a fraction of time others needed. There are only so many hours in a day, true, but people work at different speeds.
