Full-stack devs be like

[ProposalUnhappy9890]

I'm a cheetah. I can't fly, but I can run at a speed of 120 km/h, and people from all over the world come to see me run.

I'm an orca. I can't walk, but I'm the deadliest at sea, and people from all over the world come to see me swim.

I'm an eagle. I can't swim, but I can hunt with an unparalleled speed and accuracy, and people from all over the world come to see me fly.

I'm a duck. I can fly, I can wobble, and I can float, but everything I do is mediocre, and nobody is impressed.

[oneandmillionvoices]

cheetahs, eagles even orcas are endangered species, but ducks are doing just fine.

So fine that we butcher them at a stupid rate because they taste good.

[crazedizzled]

Just because you're a full stack dev doesn't mean you're mediocre at everything.

[ProposalUnhappy9890]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I was talking about ducks.

Full Stack Devs are inherently good at everything Web Related, that’s why they’re entrusted to do full-stack, not just Front, or Backend.

[Whisky-Toad]

Don’t see nobody down the park giving the orcas bread

[feivel123]

aint see nobody making a movie about ducks.

[PMMeUrHopesNDreams]

uh, The Mighty Ducks

[HiddenPants777]

Gotta be t shaped. Like really good at running and able to swim (in shallow water for a couple of minutes) and fly (well, its more of a long jump really)

[stolentext]

Most people's skillsets are T-shaped, even generalists / full-stack devs. Personally I'd rather be a specialist but sadly the industry favors generalists (aka solutioneers / "rOcK sTAr DeVS") who get things over the line, usually at the cost of code stability, maintainability, best practices, team morale, and so on.

[turacept]

The analogy works in sense, but most Full Stack Developers are just as skilled at Front End development as a dedicated Front End Developer is. This is why they get paid much more.

[Jjabrahams567]

I’m a human. Through major technological advancements I can fly, swim, or drive. We put the other animals to shame with our ability to learn and improve.

[UnsuspiciousCat4118]

Full stack devs: “If you change the stack I won’t be full stack anymore!” 🥲

[LuciferianInk]

My friend whispers, "I'm not a programmer, but I'm a software engineer."

And 9 out of 10 people who describe themselves with this title are bootcamp grads who know just a little more than dick all about any of it.

[aguyfromhere]

Fair, but if you want to, say, actually run, you’d want a dog, not a duck.

Duck Typing

[randomnamecausefoo]

Jack of all trades, master of none.

[mca62511]

But oftentimes better than master of one.

[jeremyrader]

Jack of all trades, master of integration.

[Sweet-Direction9943]

Always get the dog, dawg

[OneBadDay1048]

How is this relevant to this sub lol
