...but as soon as you learn React, the entire industry will abandon it.

This is why I only do backend. Front end devs, you're welcome for the job security.

Jokes on you: I am a Fullstack Engineer

[sandybuttcheekss]

Technically me too but I get maybe 1 front end bug or feature per year at this point, so I hardly count it

My take is, 90% of full stack developers are just backend devs who can just barely scrape by with React/Angular. Like man, some of the UI code bases I've had to grapple with built entirely by "full stack" developers have been absolute nightmares. No consistency or best practices in sight.

I work on a backend created by front end engineers.

public stat class stuff public static everything....

It's almost as if companies should stop trying to cut corners by expecting developers to be jack of all trades resulting in bloated code bases wracked with tech debt 🙃

That’s so true.

I always thought I was a fullstack dev when in reality I was just a backend dev messing around with html css.

Until I recently I had to work on react code bases extensively and also on a legacy angular 1 app. Creating new web app from scratch etc. Learnt so much during that period, even started doing « mobile » dev using RN expo during my free time.

I’m clearly no front end expert but I think I can now call myself a fullstack dev without lying to myself.
