+1 for specialization, in my experience working on a fullstack team is significantly more painful than having a specialized role. Of course it’s partially because you have to learn a bunch of stuff, but I’ve also found that fullstack teams tend to have poor planning, e.g. it’s structured as fullstack to constantly fill gaps in a not well defined project / roadmap. Fullstack is good experience if you want to do your own projects / startup, but not a peaceful job.

What is the reason though?

Even on a fullstack team, some folks will be better or gravitate towards certain tasks.

Maybe underestimating how different people can ramp up in different parts of the stack, or underestimating the context switch, or the amount of glue between the different parts of the stack.
