Why you SHOULDN'T become a Full Stack Developer

Sooo.. Full Stack Development seems to be what (almost) everyone wants to become nowadays. But why is that? And should you really want to become a full stack developer?

A few days ago I stumbled on a tweet by Kent C. Dodds where he promoted his new full stack web development course, and explained why knowing the full stack is important. I responded via a tweet: https://x.com/JeroenReumkens/status/1...

In today's video I'll explain my point of view on this topic. I'll explain why it's perhaps not the best to strive to "know it all" – why it's even impossible to know it all, and what potential risks are of wanting to be that full stack developer.

This video is for all the developers out there feeling a bit swamped by all the things they think they need to learn in web development. You really don't need to know it all.
