Back in the day we call this role Webmaster. Being able to manage your server, write your code and design the website was what a true developer tried to achieve.
It is strange to see developers preferring to stay in their isolated environments and not wanting to touch the entire stack.
- moonchrome 4y agoIt's not strange at all - it takes months of work to get productive with insert whatever tech stack here even when it's within your experience domain. Problem domains are really separate. Toolchains and languages are different. It's already hard to find people competent on one stack/field - hoping to find a team of competent "full-stack", in the broadest sense of the word, is probably prohibitively expensive.
- electrondood 4y agoThis actually made sense back in the day. Now there's significantly more complexity for each part of the stack, tooling, distributed design patterns for scaling, etc. We don't really have "websites" any more, for example. We have apps that run in the browser.
