Most "web developers" couldn't develop an application from start to finish to save their lives, and of those who manage to find jobs, you can wait a decade and they still won't be able to do it. It's painful attempting to interview a lot of them because they think that skinning Wordpress should earn them six figures.

- MisterBastahrd 4y agoI should say that on the flip side, one of the most talented devs I worked with received a finance degree from his university and then went into development because he didn't want to manage people or spend every day cold calling prospective clients. He had been at an employer several years before me and while I was definitely understood product and design better due to my own background, that guy was fantastic at being able to drill down on hard topics and come up with functional solutions that scaled. I was a fierce advocate of his for awards and promotions until he left to go somewhere else where he wouldn't be siloed into the hard jobs.
