I worry this article misses a larger issue: "full stack" tends to mean an ignorance of client-side constraints (nevermind the tools and techniques). Therefore the default stack for unspecialised engineers is simply unfit for most purposes *and they don't even know it*https://twitter.com/LeaVerou/status/1069843450235895808 …

Nobody is succeeding at UI when they produce slow, janky experiences for most users. Best case, they're demonstrating proficiency with prototyping tools. High-time that hiring managers got wise to this. Test the portfolio site on a mid-range device, not your MBP or iPhone.

Interesting points. I would suggest cross-browser design and client related performance bottlenecks etc are part of the peculiar 'web designer' role that is being eradicated by the influx of CS folks who (as you rightly point out) couldn't care less. Still CS vs not-CS.

Yeah, there's an under-valued aspect of learning the terrain that a CS degree doesn't prep you for. There's something here about missing analogies; can think about CSS and HTML as hyper-efficient ways of compressing content (when used well) vs. explaining them long-hand (JS)

This is all great but you're saying this while we appear to be losing our 3rd-to-last browser engine in large part due to Electron taking over as a UI framework. At that point engineers barely have room to be the bottleneck.
