Have you seen job ads for full-stack these days? It's far beyond "JS and SQL". If that's your idea of facetious, I'd like to see your idea of what you think is realistic. DevOps, DBMS, HTML+CSS, JS, a back-end language, a front-end framework, both language and framework considered "non-transferable" by many for some insane reason, "cloud". That's just the beginning. >I’ve never met a happy, successful programmer who didn’t enjoy the craft. You're conflating "juggling the company's entire stack" with "programmer". Many of us learn programming for reasons other than fullstack webdev, but we work there because the vast majority of low-risk, well-paying jobs in software development are webdev, while doing the things we consider "fun" in our own time. At the very least, piping generic information and writing glue code isn't my idea of "fun programming".
