I work in IT since 2015. Back then I looked at my full-stack dev friends with a fair amount of admiration and a lot of respect.

Years passed and I realized that being in IT is quite similar to being an actor — you either pretend to know the answer to every question or you’re hiding your frustrations about your day-to-day work (obviously with exceptions).

In my career path, I met a lot of developers and came to the conclusion that almost none of them were really full-stack devs, and that the concept of full-stack dev should be changed.

Let me explain.

A little bit of history…

At the beginning of THE INTERNET, there was something we know as web1.0 — the static era, where we realized that this is the way of the future.

Everyone wanted the spot on the WEB. They wanted to be found, but there was a problem. Not a lot of people knew how to achieve that. Hence the birth of the webmaster.

A webmaster is a person responsible for maintaining one or more websites (…) — Wikipedia
