If you're not being sarcastic, why limit yourself to only one thing? If you're working on some amazing UI with tons of CSS animations and a full audiovisual experience, and it takes intimate knowledge of everything frontend, I guess it would make sense. But if you're just making internal CRUD apps, I don't see a reason why a given domain is special enough to have its own job title.

I think it's a complement. We're not in the dark ages anymore where you had to be intimately familiar with each target platform and have different people who each know everything about their little part of the stack. Nowadays it's feasible for one person to be productive in devops, database, backend, frontend, etc. because so many people have gone to great effort to get us there. I personally get a lot of enjoyment out of being able to stand up an app by myself without necessarily needing to work with six other teams. That way we can have an actual vision for an overall user experience rather than getting caught up in compatibilities and discussions of ever changing best practices.
Depending on the software, you still get to think about garbage collection!
I'm pretty sure you could buy one of those with a straight six, I bet they're even more of a dog!
Nothing wrong with being an EMT who does all those things as hobbies, unless the capitalist pigs to whom you sell your hours demand more than their fair share...
I've had many other jobs and few experiences in them have been as humbling as programming. My favorite is trying everything to fix an issue then realizing the problem is that you're pointing at the wrong database or running the wrong branch.
The problem with modern UI design in a nutshell...
I have basically the same story, except it was one of my actual friends on Steam asking me to rate their CS:GO team. I fell for it since I was trying to be nice, and luckily changed my password before they could turn around and use my account for the same thing.
Just an anecdote, but I've definitely eaten those bad boys after several months. I've never been led astray by just checking for mold and giving it a sniff.
Yeah! I think I still have the exact same tastes as when I was a kid. I always wanted a dirt bike and now I have one, and I always wanted a fast computer with a good sound system, which I now keep relatively up to date. Maybe my kid self would be disappointed that I don't have a fast car though!
Suddenly I need to order a lot of explosives...
You can read without using your inner voice if you practice. It supposedly lets you read a lot faster, though I have my doubts about how well you retain the information. One way to do it is to think "lalalala" while reading something!
