This is precisely why I maintain that the entire notion of full stack engineering is flawed. It’s absurd to think that one person should be able to meaningfully understand front end, backend, networking, and infra. Even if you abstract away networking and infra (spoiler, you’ve just kicked the can down the road), I’d argue that expecting someone to be good at frontend and backend is ridiculous. Maybe if the industry didn’t have such insane abstractions and frameworks, it would be doable, but that’s not how it is.
