Full Stack Developers — The Real MVPs?

I just heard that tech hiring in the country is going to be up in the next fiscal year, and mid-level executives are either to hone their digital skills or face unemployment. The time is not too far when tech industries will only hire full stack in place of multiple coders. Today people are increasingly adopting new skills in order to multi-task. This trend of donning multiple hats is a great boost to any company or individual’s productivity, and is actively changing the way industries function today. It has thus become important for software developers to keep up with the demanding times and why not, when upskilled, full stack software developers get double the salary when compared to their peers?

Who is a Full Stack Developer?

Front-end developers work on the overall look of the website, whereas back-end developers deal with the functioning of the website. Usually, software developers work either with front-end or back-end development. Full stack developers specialize in both, which is why they are in demand in today’s context. They bring more knowledge and expertise to the table.

What Skills Does a Full Stack Developer Possess?

As I discussed earlier, full stack developers possess skills in both front-end as well as back-end. This alone makes them well-versed in programming languages & frameworks like HTML, CSS, Bootstrap JavaScript, Typescript, Angular, ReactJS, NodeJS, ExpressJS, REST API’s, MongoDB and other programming languages along with deployment infrastructure like GIT & AWS. They have a knack for detail, which ensures perfection in every step of the way.

Why is it Better?

• High Demand: Full stack developers are preferred by employers because they are a cheaper resource, thus increasing the chances of employment.
• Increased Proficiency and Productivity: Because they deal with both front end and back end development, full stack developers are involved in the entire process of producing an MVP (which makes them the MVPs). Their salaries are also at par with the effort they put in, making it an extremely viable career choice.
