I'm the full stack PP. I can't reiterate this enough. The guys that truly are/were able to differentiate themselves understood the whole stack.

That's true in a number of contexts but not in all. If you're working in hardware design, embedded systems, EDA, OS programming, compilers, programming GPUs for cryptocurrency or machine learning, then an in-depth understanding of the hardware is valuable. In many other software fields, the level of hardware knowledge you get in a CS degree is sufficient, and the broader take on algorithms and software topics has value of its own. Plenty of javascript hackers get along with less than that.

I'm the PP poster.

Disagree and advocating for both CE and CS.

As they say smoke or be smoked.

Very, very few really get it. Get educated - truly educated and truly learn - and write plenty of code along the way - hell you can be self taught for all I care - and then go play with the big boys and create amazing products.

Writing javascript for some Insurance company app ain't it.
