The Importance of Specialists in a World of Generalists

We've heard a lot lately about the full stack developer, the ultimate generalist who can solve any problem solo, irrespective of the complexity of technologies involved. But with all this hype surrounding the idea of mastering everything, are we ignoring the importance of specialisation?

We may visit a GP regularly, but for more complex issues we want to speak to a specialist. We don't get our family accountant to audit the books for a large company, and we don't take a Lamborghini to our local mechanic. We are constantly choosing to consult specialists, people who are experts in their field, so why don't we attribute the same to developer specialisations?

Let us show you why we need to appreciate the importance of celebrating inclusive developer ideas, and understand why being a full stack developer might be the ultimate career decision for some, it's far from the only one.
