I work with a lot of programmers and the ones that bang out a ton of small projects are the ones I see earning the most money (or the ones that I give the most money to)

PHP/Python programmers with a sound understanding of JS/HTML/CSS and a familiarity with basic networking protocols that also have their wits about them in terms of basic UX/UI is the magic recipe that I am constantly looking for.

so a fullstack Javascript wouldn't just cut it you're looking for senior developers?

there are many times when a Junior developer will do the job.

Larger/more complex/higher paying jobs usually require knowledge of multiple layers of the stack. It is really annoying when someone is able to knock out almost all of a project and then "I don't know how to do this..." when it comes to something outside of their scope.

I guess that is the difference between a hacker and a hack. A hacker will figure it out and add it to their own knowledge base knowing they have this information stored away for future use.
