I guess I&#x27;m a full stack developer, does this mean I&#x27;m some sort of mythical creature?<p>No, my specially is the back-end. I got to know CSS when the designer went AWOL a couple of weeks before a project was to go live. I&#x27;ve grown experience in javascript because I couldn&#x27;t find a decent front-end developer for the right terms.<p>Programming is a mix of learning the theory (the same principles are repeated regardless of the technology), and practice (I enjoy programming&#x2F; exploring so it doesn&#x27;t feel like a chore).<p>I&#x27;ve been doing this [professionally] for nearly decade. Had I not had a deep interest in technology, I&#x27;d properly be working on some ancient codebase doing a job I hate.
