Opinion about full-stack web app teams? (programming.dev)

What is your opinion about full-stack teams? I'm referring to teams where the desire is for every member to competently contribute at every point in the stack.

  • Do they work?
  • What has been your experience?
  • Does team size and/or experience level inform your opinion?
  • Do you notice an increase/decrease in quality?
  • Do you notice an increase/decrease in team and product cohesion?

Think of a T. This is the breadth and depth desirable on a team. Everyone has familiarity with every technology involved. However, only a few people have deep understanding of different aspects. Helps with the 80/20 of a lot of projects. The deep tech folks prep for the broad tech. Works great!

Is that "full stack"? Close enough for marketing speak. ;)
