I guess if 2 full stack engineers provide equal work as 1 front-end and 1 back-end engineer, there are no reasons for full stack engineers to be paid more
- paraditedc 8y agoI think we are in agreement? My point is that people should be less entitled in terms of what's expected from them.
- beatgammit 8y agoI disagree. What happens if one frontend or backend developer isn't available (quits, vacation, etc)? One of your full stack developers can fill in. You're paying for flexibility as well. However,. I think that two good full stack developers should be able to outperform a frontend/backend pair because they reduce the need for communication. Many problems take as long to describe as to implement, so you'll iterate a lot faster with two full stack developers focused on one feature each than a frontend/backend pair sharing two features. The only time having two specialists is important is if you have plenty of talent and projects are well separated. That's rarely the case, so a full stack developer should be significantly more valuable.
