Full stack developer is real?
How deep full stack developer know stuffs? I believe full stack is backend engineer who knows somewhat frontend. And it’s a scam made my consulting company to ensure their clients that their engineer can work on anything.
Some consulting company considers full stack engineer as someone who can do everything in IT. Coding, testing, devops 😂
One example: infosys trains their employee on fullstack dev ( java + angular ) and sends their empoyee to the client, where they work for months on simple testing 😂
Sab choona laga raha ek dusre ko
I look at full stack engineers like allrounders in cricket. Like most all rounders are either batting all rounders or balling all rounders, most full stack engineers would be backend engineers who know some front end or FE engineers who know some BE. But there would also be a few engineers who equally know both.
Companies, especially startups, like full stack engineers because a single developer can push a whole feature. Otherwise time is lost on back and forth and features become dependent on 2 people instead of one.
Also small startups expect pure backend/frontend engineers to work on platform level stuff instead of just working on features
It depends upon a particular engineer, if they've had a strong experience of working with both backend and frontend technologies & codebases, and if they have deep knowledge of tech stacks of both those areas.
If yes, then yeah, they are truly full-stack engineers. I myself happen to be one such example, and so l'm sure there are others out there too.
Just because you personally don't have that kind of expertise on something, doesn't mean that nobody else in the world does.
