Why do we keep referring to engineers as full stack, frontend, or backend? I guess this is a relic from times when the predominant software architecture was tier-based. Does this distinction still apply? Why?
- lmarcos 4y agoBecause it's easier for companies to hire and fire based on roles.
- soco 4y agoIn my mind (aka experience) the job ad goes like this. Frontend? You must know JavaScript plus Angular/react/whatever. Fullstack? Again Javascript but also node.js, maybe some devops. Backend? Java or Rust or such plus definitely devops. So instead of listing technologies and be clear, they'd rather use fancy-schmancy made-up names.
