I now have a full-time client that needed a full-stack developer. I clearly stated I'm a backend person with some exposure to frontend. Okay, they said, go ahead.
The first onboarding week everything worked like a charm: I was given an API-related task, I did it the first with really tinny-tiny comments for review, and I merged the PR in time (the only to do that of three newly hired devs).
Guess that they gave me as my first real ticket?
Are you sittin'? If not, sit down for not to fall.
A reskin of a freakin' modal dialog, with Figma, CSS and stuff.
Maybe it's the new reality of full-stack devs, but I'll talk to my hiring manager on Monday indeed.
Yes, I didn't clearly state I'm totally blind properly, but it was obvious actually. Anyway, the life is hard sometimes.

@menelion This has always been a reality for me. That's how I eventually grew to be a full-stack developer.

There are very few customers who can afford the luxury of having a dedicated frontend team. And even for those who had, my prototype usually ended up being final đŸ˜†
