You know, learning full stack development is great, but I’ve noticed that a lot of people forget how much demand there still is for specialized skills like Java. It’s not just about building the whole app — many companies want deep backend expertise to handle complex business logic, integrations, and performance issues. When I was looking into this myself, I found a really useful post by Limeup on hiring Java developers that broke down what to look for and how to spot real talent. It made me rethink the way I evaluate developers for projects, especially when it comes to balancing speed with long-term maintainability.
