> The reason why technical people look down on full stack engineers is because they are usually just web developers. To give some context here, yes, when people refer to full stack developers, they're usually referring to developers who are focused on web development, but that would also include API development, or even mobile development. I don't think anyone thinks of full stack developers, as developers who know embedded development or compiler development, so I don't know anyone who looks down on them for not knowing these things. > It's hard for a full stack engineer to see or admit to this because of bias, it's much easier for someone outside of web development to see it, or a more well rounded engineer to realize it. Now obviously, the way that you put it, it's extremely difficult to say why you're wrong, because you've started by adding a bias to people who would defend it. So maybe, when you want to have a discussion about it, don't start by stating something that makes it extremely difficult to argue against it without being seen as having a bias.

Yes, I'm referring to technical people who are specialists outside of "web development". >Now obviously, the way that you put it, it's extremely difficult to say why you're wrong, because you've started by adding a bias to people who would defend it. So maybe, when you want to have a discussion about it, don't start by stating something that makes it extremely difficult to argue against it without being seen as having a bias. Why would i want to be told I'm wrong? People offer arguments in the belief that they are bullet proof so it's natural to say things that are harder to argue against. If you're a full stack engineer this excludes you from answering because you may be biased. I can empathize with how you feel. I guess there's two things you can consider here. Consider that you are biased and that the statement is correct. Consider that I, the person who posed the statement, is biased and wait for a programmer outside of web development who has experience working with "full stack web engineers" to respond with his own opinion. You would be biased not to consider the possibility that I am right, so strive to be unbiased.
