WARNING: cringe for full-stack developers..

Recruiters at it again - how does any of this make sense?

Well, both are bad for your health, I guess.

Why is data storage the cheese layer between the API lettuce and backend burger?

Also, why are there pickles underneath the burger? I would allow sauce under the burger for increased adhesion, but toppings, as their name implies, go on top of the meat.

Too many questions.

@Jilano I do feel like I'm both cases, there's a lot of distance between expectation and reality as well.

Lots of old Python 2.x meat in the burger, the bun is some Edgy wholegrain stuff but ultimately just tastes stale, and nine out of ten times the lettuce doesn't look anywhere near as fresh as the documentation said it would.

I feel physical pain looking at this...

microservices === sliders ?

I don't know everything in it, but I do at least 2 things in each layer. Am I a full stack dev?

@bittersweet ikr!!!
I meam, how does it make sense to put Docker, MongoDB and Scala in the same layer..

And those freakin pickles underneath the veggie meat are an abomination!!!

The tomatoes and pickles:
Undocumented features

Fullstack = i can search on google.

@jak645 one does not simply google the krabby patty formula

Hey I can make a tiny burger with lots of bread....

Why isn't MongoDB party of the cheese. It's language syntax is just BSON...

NoSQL is just JSON.

SQL is easy. Schema design is not.

Frontend developers should know about REST anyway. AJAX is old, thats what fetch is for.

SPA and PWA have some overlap anyway, and theres commandline tools to generate those.

Python takes like a week to pick up max.

Docker, Azure, and AWS are really covered in DevOps and so shouldn't even be considered part of "full stack", maybe backend, yeah, but not relevant to juniors and front end guys. Thats why they have a whole separate career path.

Why PhoneGap? Why not Cordova? Why not fucking Xamarin? Or Ionic? Or Flutter?

If you're coming in to a team with an existing product then the language (javascript/typescript, C#, java) is gonna dictate maybe what you use anyway.

Jquery? Well I mean if the products OLD and it's already well embedded but theres better options now, and browsers fill most of the gaps jquery used to.

This burger is made of nonsense.

And even I, a total noob, recognize it.

I spent 6 months looking for a job. In my cv I wrote things like "senior software engineer". Ability to understand and lead project end to end. Ownership. Commitment. Alignment of technology to business. Quick learner. Problem solver. Almost no interviews.

I changed, and I wrote FullStack in my cv. I've got 40 interviews in one month.

In some cases, my mini-buzzword-stack overlapped with the full-of-shit-stack of the interviewers, in other cases not.

I've got 4 job offers, though.
I've accepted one.

Now I'm trying to remember what I faked in the interview of the accepted job, and prepare for it.

Fullstack till you make it.

@willcandy if only there were more (or any) software engineers that switched to HR positions our lives would be better as a specie.
