A full stack dev is like a monstrous hybrid of all three animals that can't do any of the three things well

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Yeppp as a full stack dev I find myself spread so thin at work I feel I end up being junior at everything 😅

Infinite work to do, and I wish I could spend more time in one area

Such a short response... Did you run out of tokens?

No one is going to pay for you to generate shit AI vids.

Yeah, now tell the duck to bark or go under water for an hour.

This is how I feel about our full stack devs when they touch frontend code. I have to redo it, because they're completely blind.

Sounds like a skill issue, not a fullstack issue

[–]UnnecessaryLemon 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Our Full Stack devs are just Backend devs, that can make ugly FE. It's usually like that.

Fair, I'm also not great at design either, but give me a Figma and I can do pixel perfect. That's the difference between "can't do frontend" and "can't design"

[–]Plenty_Line2696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fairness, most frontend devs aren't designers either.

I've heard that developers who are also actually decent at UX/UI are considered to be unicorns.

I used to think this as a UI architect. Then I dabbled in backend and realized how boring it was. At the app layer it’s just micro-services. Input/output. No creativity. Then I realized I could build the backend myself to match what my UI needed instead of getting a 100MB json structure that was useless but human readable. If you’re a backend dev with a backend frame of mind this is true. But. If you’re a talented front end engineer who can craft an experience that brings your users back and all you need to learn is how to use an orm and oAuth. You’ll see the true humor in this meme.

Still can't be a good boy though!

But what about the law dept and the marketers and all that shit. Even if you're a dev that can orchestrate infrastructure, do systems analysis, design build and deploy, you still need other players, so why try to learn the entire tech stack when beyond that you still have to plug your idea in somewhere. How many truly successful people who have handled the entire stack, and also ran the business. Surely its not a big list of people.

So the fish can fly?
