I read both articles and felt they both made good points.

It is in a company's (and the industry's) best interest to pair down well-paid developers and open up more entry-level positions, however, it's in the consumer's best interest for developers to maintain high accountability and "closeness" to the product.

I don't see these approaches as mutually exclusive I see how full stack development and silos can both exist in the same environment like if the Dentist in the counterpoint article's analogy takes over the hygienist's role when the hygienist is out on vacation.
