Thanks.

As far as writing device drivers — I have had to assist with debugging while writing device drivers. It has been some time, but sometimes only software can bring out a bug in hardware. But, it is not actually about modifying hardware, but the understanding that you obtain about the levels about it.

There are also plenty of other areas that may or may not need to be recognized. Lots of room between stages 3 and 4 such as developing AI applications.

Hi Micahel,
thanks for the appreciation. 1.5 for web development looks good to me.
Your description of someone who can modify the hardware seems a little too much for a developer. For me, the only hardware modification is that I can swap things (RAM, Processor, HDD). 🙂 🙂
Also, I didn’t meet anyone who solders devices while writing the device driver!

Stage 1.5 You can develop a web application and its server.
Stage 6 You can debug / modify the hardware (not building out a new computer).

I have always thought that the term “full stack developer” is very misleading. It is only stage 1.5. To me, it should mean stage 1- 6.
