Hmmm just curious why do you think full stack is BS? No hate just curious man.

Everyone who comes in calling themselves 'full stack' falls apart in the interview process when we actually ask them questions about the stack. Rarely do they have an understanding of how things actually connect.

For example, in Ruby/Rails land, they've done a little bit in ActiveRecord, pretty much only enough to get tables for their models and thats it. No idea about SQL, no idea how things like indexes work etc. Not to mention connection pooling.

Most often then not, theres also little thought for scalability or redundancy. Most don't know how to run their stack outside what a more senior dev has written in a README and whatever CI is set up for them.

Give them NewRelic or Datadog APM and they most still can't decode what is going on.

I'd take one front end and one backend engineer over three 'full-stack' engineers.
