> And I’d take the full stack dev before a front end one

So you think one person can't know the entire stack but also half of the stack is not complex/important enough to be worth specializing in?

No, I just would have to think really hard to recall a front end specialist who didn’t get bogged down in fad chasing or wrote code better than a backend dev half-assing it.

  • I would say then that your project is simple enough that an underpaid full-stack dev is exactly what you want.

    • Possibly, but my experience is that front-end dev specialists tend to over-complicate things (usually so they can tinker with some new javascript flavored garbage).
