Deep dives

The Evolution of Full-Stack Development

The concept of a full-stack developer is becoming increasingly relevant as the capabilities of AI models are commoditized. Major AI providers, such as Google and Anthropic, now offer competitive models that are becoming cheaper to utilize. To develop effective products on these models, developers will need to access and leverage more proprietary data, which is often underestimated. This shift emphasizes the importance of understanding how to work with these AI systems to enhance product development and user experience.
