How do you feel about being a full stack developer?

I have seen a lot of positions about being full stack with a polyglot mindset. One of the full stack positions I worked for was almost always frontend with little backend work. I acknowledge it's a great way to learn as well and not everyone's cup of tea. But isn't this a clever way companies have got to churn more work from a single person while paying almost the same as a backend or a frontend dev?

Thoughts on full stack dev?

Saw a comment somewhere here to not do full stack development but only focus on one area and upskill in that. I assume they meant focus on frontend or backend only.

I’ve always thought full stack is more desirable than being only focuse...

Is being FullStack not respected ?

I am a FullStack engineer working at a startup with 1 YOE, lately I have realised that there are more specialist roles (Frontend/SRE) in most companies and are paid really well.

I really like working FullStack (Typescript with Node/PHP)...
