Know the whole stack even if you don’t operate within it
Coders at Work has to be one of the most read books for programmers and/or software developers of all levels. Among 15 sets of Q/A with most probably great programmers of all time, I want to share paragraph of a conversation with Brad Fitzpatrick, creator of Memcached and co-founder of LiveJournal.
The one way they think about solving things is always within the space they know. They don’t think end-to-end as much. I think it’s really important to know the whole stack even if you don’t operate within the whole stack.
Polyglotism is a way to go!!!
