Software Engineering Manager and Endurance Running Race Director - Have lots of ideas of how to simplify and automate endurance race management through workflow optimization and software development.
I've been a programmer for 20 years and I had never heard the term full stack development until about 2016, which was a year before I left my company. I guess I assumed that most everyone worked on both front-end and back-end. I'm serious, but of course, I wasn't looking for work at the time, so I never really paid attention to titles, but at my last company and the one I'm with now, they care more that a you know front-to-back vs. one or the other. I also see plenty of jobs out there where there is an expectation to know both front and back-end.
I feel that being a programmer ("full-stack developer"), is getting harder and harder with so many technologies we must "master", so having a specific discipline could help reduce the stress involved with expecting to "know everything". The good news is that we're working in an exciting time with so much to choose from where one can specialize on anything, and if there's a market for it, then all the better. Sometimes, I'd wish I had a specialty, but the reality is that I haven't been in a situation where it was warranted. Maybe someday.
