EP8: Full Stack Engineering - "Jacks & Masters"

On this episode of CodeCast, Mukuma, Elias and the episode's guest, Mbuyu, talk about the jack of all trades, the full stack software engineers; the specialists, back-end and front-end engineers, and everything in-between. How did they get into their respective crafts? How can you get into the profession? Where do you start? Why should you specialize and how do you know what to specialize in?
