Single Stack Focus
Single Stack Focus is a development methodology where a team or individual specializes deeply in a single technology stack (e.g., MERN, LAMP, or .NET) to build applications end-to-end. It emphasizes mastering a cohesive set of tools and frameworks to streamline development, reduce context switching, and improve productivity. This approach is often used in startups, small teams, or projects with well-defined technical requirements.
Developers should adopt Single Stack Focus when working on projects that benefit from rapid development, consistency, and reduced operational complexity, such as building MVPs, internal tools, or applications with a clear technology fit. It is particularly useful in environments where team members can become experts in one stack, leading to faster debugging, better code quality, and easier onboarding. However, it may not be suitable for projects requiring diverse technologies or when future scalability demands flexibility.
