The author is describing at least 3 positions on his post, it is insane to be responsible for the amount of work that it requires the proccess of building a web application.

It would be better to hire 3 different amazing people on their field (front-end dev, back-end dev and designer) and most of the times you will get a better result. two heads thinks better than one.

I (the author) would agree that it's insane, but it's often the case that when products get created, there's only one UI developer at the start. More importantly, if you DO have all those skills, you'll keep getting those kinds of opportunities.

Of course sometimes you have to do the hard work, but now that you are hiring instead of trying to find a person that master 3 fields, look for someone that master two of them, maybe the two where you feel less comfortable, a designer can easily fit front-end or a back-end dev is able to work on front, that may help to find someone capable to start working and later they would learn the next set of skills you need to be considered a unicorn, hackers love to learn.
