Hey, this is quite an interesting read and resonates with what I've been thinking of as I further explore this field.

In terms of personal branding, do you think marketing yourself as a JavaScript developer (or anything other than a full-stack dev) while applying for a "full-stack" role from a company would skew the recruiter / company's view of you? Even though we, as developers, may understand this, those that don't know the ins-and-outs may not, right?

Would love to hear your thoughts!
