It depends. Pick an old movie and see what the actors wore. They wore the same style of suit but they didn't wore the same style of casual wear. Google search page doesn't change much, but online bank UI has improved a lots.

I also have the same question about how to improve my technical skills. I don't think it is related to full stack or not. I found that most of the companies require developers with mid-level skills only. I don't have enough chance

I don't agree with repository overview. Most people visit home page are not maintainer. They don't care much about commits and statistics. What they do is reading the README.md or reading code without cloning them to their machine

If real world API is as chaotic as he mentioned, how can he even know the data is trustable? From his Java's example, I can't see how he can fix with dynamic language. He still needs to validate the API response and throw exceptio
