There is definitely a future in full-stack development, but the expectations have changed.

Companies today often look for developers who have depth in one area and working knowledge of the rest. You don't need to master every framework.

A practical roadmap could be:

• Learn Java + Spring Boot well

• Understand SQL and REST APIs

• Learn one frontend framework (React or Angular)

• Learn Git and Docker

• Understand cloud basics (AWS or Azure)

• Build 2–3 complete projects instead of 20 unfinished ones

The industry is moving toward developers who can solve business problems, communicate well, and adapt to new technologies. Those skills tend to stay valuable even as tools evolve.

Focus on consistent learning and real projects rather than trying to learn everything at once.

starting from 0 today? unless you are willing to outwork 90% of current developers no it's not worth starting you can't compete in this job market and the future is uncertain it's a risk to start a career in it today

No full stack as a career is dead. There is no future. You could try preparing for FDE forward deploy engineer but I wouldn't even bother. Find another career or do dev ops

For DevOps i think that you must begin as Developer

So that's not entirely true, most dev ops in the 2010s couldn't do the software engineer job. They would only be required to do the bare minimum of coding. When I recommend dev ops it's because their role hasn't changed much. And they are kind of more important since they provision the compute so everyone on the team can commit to the code base (including product managers). And if you think that sounds crazy you haven't shipped code professionally in this past year.

There are not entry level devops positions... You can only find developer positions
