The Sjgar Stack

I love how JavaScript / TypeScript allows a full stack developer to use the same language all over their stack, nice example about how it was even possible to move logic from the web to authentication layer by simply copy and pasting!

I’ve found another effect of using a single language is that it becomes easier to build teams, there’s less speciality needed and communication and sharing of ideas within a team becomes easier. Is this something you’ve seen too, and do you see the other parts of the Sjgar stack (e.g. due to the size of the React and AWS community) help with this?

Absolutely! Not only did we find that we can hire full stack engineers who take full responsibility for an application end to end. We even had front end JavaScript engineers that were kind of determined that full stack was impossible to pull off. Fast forward a few months an he is now working on the GraphQL service using apollo-server and AWS Lambda. And super happy with it. That was super nice to see.
