Front-End vs. Back-End: You’re Learning the WRONG One! (Big Mistake?)

I like developing so developing a variety of different systems is fun! BUT! Being Full Stack IS getting harder and harder because of the HUGE amount of tech that we have to keep on top off!

I'm much stronger on backend than front so, will be pivoting future roles in that area. Because I can always continue with my front end stuff for my personal projects, and so remain somewhat fresh, if I'm called upon to do front end work!

But yes, this is a doomed role now...

True but development is enjoyable

It's doesn't matter if you are frontend, backend or fullstack, you have to keep learning the technology you use or new ones everyday in this field all change

Nice presentation. I personally found Full Stack very empowering. Like every IT career, this one also has problems though.

I'm close to graduating and I love working with both backend, database, and web. I understand very little about web currently, but I like what I am looking seeing :3

nice advice

All front-end and back-end devs I've met were there because they were too lazy to learn the whole stack. If you can't build a whole application I really have to wonder about your software engineering skills.

Full stack totally worth it for Tech beginners only and they should start with full stack.
Later focus to one side and go deeper and better.

1. Be jack of all trades, master of one.
2. You should be able to switch hats when needed.

You don't need to be expert always but not know frontend, DB, devops at all and only knowing backend won't work. At Architect level you should have idea of everything.

I get your point, but the value of a full stack developer isn't just about being perfect at both frontend and backend. It's about understanding the full flow of how applications work.

Neighbour asking me to build an app for me which requires a db access.. whether i need to reply that i am only frontend, backend is not available .we think we need to build a product. not a technology expert

To enter the industry learn full stack and then master one. (My thinking)

But have you guys heard of full-full-stack? You become completely allergic to your job, nevermind burnout 😂

What about those JD's: Backend, Frontend, Devops, Cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Data Analyst, crazy! but some companies want to replace the entire staff with this unreal superheroe.

This makes sense!

Im gonna design my own software so im gonna be one who write the main code and i need to find one who does ui and one who does database and sec😢

Companies be like: 'Can you be the entire IT department? We'll pay you the salary of one intern and a slice of pizza on Fridays.

For that reason let me just specialize with HTML.

This is false info, stop misleading people

I know, this comment going to out of the topics. I am sorry for that. What about fresher? Are they still have value and eemand in the job sector or in the marketplace and company? I am asking because of AI. I am sorry to talk about Ai here but every beginners want to know the answer. Thanks advance. Please answer the above question.

Lol this video is posted a decade too late. These days you need full stack + UI design + Automated QA + Machine Learning + DevOps/MLOps. To get an entry position.

If anyone like to become full stack dev they even did not try both

Even if you're a backend focused or frontend focused developer you'll never be a master in either of those because technology revolves very fast. So I don't see any issues in being Jack of all trades.

This is AI generated audio right?

I know but I like it, I want it

You can be a decent full stack developer these days. You just had to start your career in the 90’s.

Real

i am a 3+ years exp full stack MERN developer . Recently i had an interview in a medium sized company and they rejected me , because i don't know much about Figma and ui/ux design . When the hr said this , i acutally laughed in interview and politely mentioned her father for wasting my time.

nice chatgpt script negative channel , btw who said master both? we are humans adn there are humans just master one and stick with that.

I agree with the guy who says they want a whole IT department for a salary of one so atleast initially you have to know every IT skill that is accessible to you then specialize for your next job offer during your free time

This is what I needed to hear. Thank you.

Becoming a Fullstack engineer is difficult.
Remaining a Fullstack engineering is insanely difficult.

As a front front end developer its good to know backend. Atleast u know whats going on.
FOCUSING More on Front end

With the advent of AI, if you think specialists are going to survive in the next 5-10 years, you are heavily underestimating AI capabilities

today, its not enough to be a full stack dev to land a job. they ask for 4 languages, 5 tools and 10 technologies, and you need to be proficient or expert in everything. bad times to be a programmer

basically all true
company cog: Specialize
solo builder: do what you need

That’s just the nature of software development….

What if my goal is to build my own product from scratch like an app then we should definitely be knowing the ins and outs of the whole product.

I want to specialised in one field and also want to have generalised knowledge in multiple fields.

Yeah, I made this mistake recently. I took on a full-stack e-commerce project while also trying to learn design, backend technologies, security, payments, and more. It just kept piling up—one thing after another. Now, whenever I think about how much is left to complete, it feels never-ending. I feel so overworked that I can’t bring myself to write new pages or features. It’s like, ugh, another mountain to climb! At this point, I just want to finish it and move on so I can focus on frontend development like I was supposed to.

A perfect way for management to save money

This is the Secret i want to reveal to benefit their skills on FullStack:
To become a true specialist in Full Stack Development, it's not just about building projects—it's about doing so efficiently and effectively. Mastering tools like ChatGPT can help speed up problem-solving and streamline project completion. So, It Gains Good time management, structured workflows, and a strong grasp of both frontend and backend technologies which are essential skills required to tech companies.

Therefore, I conclude that Full Stack Development is far from dead. Big companies still need developers who can handle multiple layers of a system and bridge the gap between different technologies. Nowadays, tech companies are actively looking for professionals who can use AI tools like ChatGPT efficiently to enhance productivity and innovation. The demand is strong, and those who keep improving their skills, leverage the right tools, and stay adaptable will always have an advantage.🔥..Mark My Words and Give your Best!!🏆✨

In IT field, in 2025, only expert is chatgpt. So be jack of all trades because experts are slave.

Many parts of learning Fullstack are easy, but there are also many of them, and they are very time-consuming to learn

I think start with full stack and after choose you like

i agree with every single word on this vid

I stay clear from the React Zoo. Just focusing on Angular on the FrontEnd. And Just Rust on the backend. Learn fundamental concepts and practical trade-offs from established C++ based frameworks. Rewrite everything in Rust.

I do full stack development because I like creating pet projects.
