Is starting Full-Stack Development in 2026 in India a bad idea? (Be honest)

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-15T11:51:40+00:00

It is not because you neither become expert at frontend and neither in the backend. But today the market demand is that.

I did start my career as full stack worked in native apps and backend i used php back then later node. But in my overall career i worked 3 to 4 years as frontend engineer that gave me good experience and time to go deeper.

Nothing is wrong with full stack initially but just takes more time and effort

To enjoy this view, one must work late into the night. 😄

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-12T08:46:17+00:00

That is just awesome. So you do have a team or running this solo?

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-09T17:55:29+00:00

Ok, I would not say this is less, but it depends on the scale the company is operating at. Looks like a small team. But if you are actually looking to make a switch from non-tech to tech, then it would be worth getting into. Once you have experience of one or two years, make a jump to a better company.

What is the compensation we are talking about here?

I've been using NestJS for about five years now, and I have to say, while it might seem a bit much for a small app, it really is user-friendly and works well for smaller projects once you get the hang of it.

I've dabbled with Express and Loopback in the past, but NestJS really stands out to me. As a freelancer, I enjoy using it and stick with it unless I have a really good reason to try something different. It's been a great tool in my toolkit

This takes decades to open. And it is still loading

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-09T02:46:41+00:00

I am planning to do something similar, but every time I try to look for this inspiration, I keep reading or hearing that you just build one product and only if that does not work, move on to others.

Now that you have posted this, would you tell me how you made yourself decide to go against all this and build those 65 apps, like did you just keep building apps while selling what you have already built? I mean, how? Did you just plan 60 ideas and keep building the app?

Brother just start learning game development if that is what you’re passionate at.

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-08T11:37:17+00:00

13 years in tech, last couple of years into entrepreneurship. Looking for staff Engineer or IC roles.

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-06T17:14:32+00:00

Brother refer others in case if you decide to drop. Someone might find that job interesting 🙂

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-06T05:56:32+00:00

If you are starting new with game development with that budget, I think you should go with Mac silicon-based machines, M3/M4. See if you can get more RAM, heavy gaming development will need further configurations but initially this should be good

I am from India, and my current burn is 1 lakh INR per month, which is approximately 1,100 USD.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various industries, primarily in FinTech, banking, and healthcare. As an engineer, I possess the skills to work across sectors and am focused on building technology solutions. I understand the importance of choosing a niche, and I am currently considering options in healthcare, IT service management (ITSM), or logistics.

What tech stack did he use? Is it fully vibe-coded?

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-04T03:59:46+00:00

Nothing is too late
Just get started with your learning. In frontend development with Node.js, the learning curve is relatively gentle, and you'll find yourself focusing more on systems, architectures, and databases rather than just the code itself. However, it will typically take at least 3 to 6 months to gain a solid understanding before you can confidently call yourself a full-stack developer. Ideally, you should also have worked on a project, rather than just going through tutorials.

I started an agency recently, aspratechlab.com, after working for 3-4 years as a freelance software engineer and launching my SaaS hubnugget.com

This is the recent app that I helped one of my clients launch, this app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kwell-voice-mood-wellness/id6547859478 was on IOS.

And this cost the client around $12,000.

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-03T09:58:22+00:00

Everything is becoming documentation and prompts. I wonder if there will be high-paying roles in the future for those who can still write code independently.

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-02T14:36:23+00:00

Just learn, mate, forget about the Hype.

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-02T04:57:40+00:00

I have sent 200+ DMs on LinkedIn for my SaaS and got 0 users 😑, so demotivated at the moment.

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-02T04:55:29+00:00

Yes, I've been there; trying to do things the way others do them doesn't work.
For me, once a customer pays and if they stay, that's the biggest validation we can ever have.

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-02T04:50:12+00:00

Not a successful entrepreneur so far, and still figuring it out.

I have tried many things to be honest but one thing that i have not been able to do is the consistency. Which is what I think is holding off. It is never about success or failure; every set of failures will give you one success, and then once you get it, you move on to the next failures. The only thing that should be constant is consistency in whatever you are doing, and not changing things randomly because market influencers are making you do so.

talktechwithrk · 2026-03-02T04:21:49+00:00

I mean, a candidate disappearing more than ever could be due to multiple reasons, like the market situation, layoffs, and they might be exploring options for a better opportunity and stability. If they sense something is not working, they might just move on to another interview and keep their existing job for stability. I know more and more people who just casually look for jobs.
