   It's hard to imagine not being a "full stack engineer"

     @sun I'm not sure if you meant to invert that statement with an English negative somewhere.
     
     Yes, we see "Renaissance Man" engineers sometimes, but they are getting rarer with every generation. The last one I knew was Dave Banks. He worked for Sun and he created Sun Storage Array. I designed the chassis, the laid out the PCBs, wrote Solaris drives. He designed the Fiber Channel and CPU combo ASIC, with its own instruction set, and wrote the SCSI target firmware for that chip. He obviously made a toolchain for that too. The only thing he did not write was the software RAID, for which he contracted Veritas.
     
     Dave Banks was a true full stack engineer. Unfortunately he quit Sun and founded Brocade right when I started at Sun Storage. Either way, I didn't meet many since. Everyone has his or her focus area.
