Morph & Beyond

I don’t see the value of frontend and backend devs passing tickets back and forth anymore, AI now handles the cross-stack work allowing generalist "product engineers" to pull off end-to-end features solo. The traditional specialist developer isn't gone, but i think the new team structure should be changed: a dev should now own features. Meaning from UI components down to database schemas. They should own the non functional aspects as well. In this paradigm I think that specialists are liberated from routine implementation to focus on architectural integrity, system performance, security guardrails, and code quality reviews. We’re technically pushed towards that, in simple terms, we don’t really prompt saying “don’t build the frontend for this feature, I’m not supposed to”. https://www.samjulien.com/product-minded-engineering-team/#:~:text=Whether%20your%20engineers%20care%20about%20outcomes%20or,who%20want%20a%20hand%20in%20shaping%20it.
