OK, then…what’s a full stack engineer?
![Page 17: The Full Stack Journey (DFW)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/588382901a28ab07628b475f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
My definition of a full stack engineer:“…someone who’s capable of working across multiple silos and moving among multiple layers of the modern data center stack.”
(from the introduction to the Full Stack Journey Podcast)

Across silos and among layers

What’s driving this? Why is this important?

Multiple forces are at play here

Is the full stack engineer a myth, then? An unattainable unicorn?

“The journey not the arrival matters.” - T.S. Eliot

There’s value in the journey
• Perfection is unattainable, but that doesn’t stop us from pursuing it • The journey to being a full-stack engineer brings benefits on its own
• It helps create habits for continuous learning • It helps foster “big picture thinking” • It helps establish natural curiosity • It helps you understand the relationships that exist between all areas of
technology
