Ops vs Dev

Situational Leadership gets into this. You want a really efficient McDonalds worker who follows the established procedure to make a Big Mac. You also want a really creative designer to build your Big Mac marketing campaign. Your job as a manager is figuring out which you need, and fitting the right person into the right job.

Agreed. Meanwhile, many job postings out there looking for 10x full-stack developers who have deep experience in database, server, front end, devops, etc.

I think the concept of Full-stack dev is fine, but expecting them to know each part of the stack deeply isn't feasible imo.

Expert Generalists are a thing: https://martinfowler.com/articles/expert-generalist.html

BUT they're completely wasted if you just use them to turn JIRA tickets into end to end features =)
