Unless you're Facebook / Google / Microsoft you're better off with a a bunch of full stack programmers than a bunch of specialists
Sometimes when I read job listings for "backend dev" or "frontend dev" I start to thi I am the only full stack guy out there. Thanks for helping me feel less alone.
- contingencies 14y agoDitto. But moving further and further from frontend these days... can't remember the last HTML I wrote. More time on HA clustering, continuous integration, build systems, multi-provider cloud management infrastructure, emerging kernel features, network-device-agnostic network connectivity rulesets... blah.
- MartinCron 14y agoI spent a few years detached from the backend before reestablishing myself as full stack. Also, the more I think about it, the more I think that CI, build systems, and infrastructure are necessary and important facets of being a full stack programmer. Emerging kernel features? Probably not so much :)
- contingencies 14y agoDepends on the complexity/size/requirements of your CI system/infrastructure. I am mostly interested in the kernel features for LXC/virt: see https://github.com/globalcitizen/lxc-gentoo https://github.com/globalcitizen/lxc-gentoo .. damn handy for rapid and efficient virtualization of complex infrastructures on limited hardware.
