You want contrarian views? I'll just give you one. I see LOTs of job listings for "full stack developers." I believe this is another way of saying, "We're too cheap to hire a good team. We just want one person who can hot dog their way through the work FAST. Screw quality. Just give us some crap that sort of works."
I've known lots of people who called themselves full stack developers. I've only known one person who I would trust to do full stack development well. And he calls himself a mobile developer.
- MM9KdBd9 5y agoMy contrarian view is that there are way too many people who want to become "full stack" developers for the money. The bootcamps are guilty of making them think that programming is easy, but they only teach web development. I should probably add that I have met a lot of those developers who wonder what they are doing, and cannot do a simple Google search about the topic they are supposed to learn. I'm scared of what will happen in the next few years for the companies who employ them. As an example, if you're learning Python, the first task would be to install Python and read the doc instead of being confused in various forums.
- akvadrako 5y agoI think that's odd since most good developers I know are generalists - frontend or backend doesn't matter.
