That seems almost completely impossible, right? I'd call myself nearly equally adept at both as I have spent all of my career doing both in equal measure. Certainly there are others like me. I work with several. I have worked at past companies with many more.
I have never understood why some thought it so strange that people have multiple skillsets.
- wizofaus 4y agoNobody's questioning that a good percentage of modern developers are capable of and expected to do both front and back-end work. But I'm in the camp that says they use different mindsets and it's a very rare individual that excels in both. Like, I know I'm a better-than-average front-end dev, but that's only because the average isn't much to boast of. I certainly don't feel especially productive compared to how much I can achieve when focused on the backend side of things. But it's nice to have a change every now and then I guess.
