Nice post! I feel that this stack is indeed a good starting point for almost any new project. And not just as a starting point, but often something you can stick to until you get very specific requirements.

Cool that you wrote down your thoughts after really having seen it work time and time again for new projects that deliver business value in a professional context.

I agree that having the same programming language and concepts on web, mobile or on the server really helps. More often than not developers get a label (frontend or backend developer) and then stick to that comfort zone, while it's so much more interesting to be more all-round.

Yep, you are so right. I understand that it is not for everybody. I have met engineers who really want to be a specialist. But what if 80% of your workforce is full stack? IMO that adds so much flexibility and thus the power to create and ship things for your customers.
