Comment on The deskilling of web dev is harming us all

Hard to sympathise. Generalizes like mad. Stop being a full stack. Have something you do well and you should have little problems in this industry. There's so much work an opportunities.

There's so much work an opportunities.

Many of them suck though. I get hired as a troubleshooter usually: that makes the most and it’s nice, get to see many companies etc. I work with people who are hired for frontend, backend etc; a month or so in, they will be asked things like ‘so devops, is that something you can do?’ Etc. And that is if it’s not in the actual job offer; ‘frontend expert wanted with 4000 years experience in everything’. I usually leave after 3-6 months as I ask a lot of money, but I have been asked to advice and help on Windows upgrades, printer emergencies and more.

Well then you're not selling yourself well. Stop taking shit jobs. Brand yourself better.

I have always just done exactly what I want; I just see people around me who get roped into crap.
