In an article with the most clickbaity article ever<\/a>, Joe Honton does a nice job of talking about the evolving landscape of web development. “Full-stack” perhaps had its day<\/a> as a useful term, but since front-end development touches so many parts of the stack now, it’s not a particularly useful term. Joe himself did a lot to popularize it, so it does feel extra meaningful coming from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus the spectrum of how much<\/em> there is to know is so wide we can’t all know it all, so to get things done, we take what we do know and slot ourselves into cross-functional teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since no one person can handle it all, the 2020 stack must be covered by a team. Not a group of individuals, but a true team. That means that when one person is falling behind, another will pick up the slack. When one person has superior skills, there\u2019s a mechanism in place for mentoring the others. When there\u2019s a gap in the team\u2019s knowledge-base, they seek out and hire a team member who\u2019s smarter than all of them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So the “2020 Stack” is essentially “know things and work on teams” more so than any particular combination of technologies. That said, Joe does have opinions on technologies<\/a>, including writing HTML in some weird GraphQL looking syntax<\/a> that I’d never seen before. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
