      <description>&lt;p&gt;The multi-trillion-dollar insurance industry is dominated by huge corporations, weighed down by heavy regulation and plagued by misalignment's of company and consumer incentives. The insurance world has devolved into an inefficient, expensive and ultimately frustrating industry. When customers most need help, they can end up fighting in vain for reimbursement from companies whose profits too often depend on avoiding paying out.&lt;br&gt;
InsureNET is building a platform for decentralized insurance products and applications. With visionaries like you, we can create a platform full of opportunities across the industry’s value chain and can all come together to provide better products and services. We aim to use blockchain technology to help make the purchase and sale of insurance more efficient, enable lower operational costs, provide greater transparency into the industry and democratize access to reinsurance.&lt;br&gt;
Blockchain can provide the means to dis-intermediate the market with a peer-to-peer risk platform that helps insurance return to its roots as society’s safety net. We even envisage new groups building their own bespoke insurance risk pools and services on the platform. And InsureNET will be a fully-compliant, fully licensed insurance platform for the emerging blockchain economy.&lt;br&gt;
In short, InsureNET can deliver the insurance industry the modernization customers are crying out for.&lt;br&gt;
We are assembling a team of experts, experienced in delivering innovative products and at the top of their game in blockchain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We started a demo here: &lt;a href="https://insurenet-web.netlify.com"&gt;https://insurenet-web.netlify.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I am not a 'Full Stack Dev', I am a Software Engineer aka: (programmer technician).</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;How many times have you heard the term thrown around by recruiters and hiring managers? And why would you want that unless they were literally your only developer and they are able to keep the lights on and add some functionality to existing applications here and there, what is wrong with that? Now, when you have a fully staffed development team, would you really want a full-stack developer or a Software Engineer who is either an expert in database, back-end/logic or your designer for whom is the UI expert? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Ffyipsdq6nrj82ptlmh7z.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Ffyipsdq6nrj82ptlmh7z.jpg" alt="Alt Text"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am creating this post because for too long the term full-stack has been thrown around and I honestly don't think the hiring managers and recruiters know what they are talking about half the time. In your opinion, what do you think about using the term and does it affect us negatively or positively? That could more less depend on the job description and company/team.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Would like to hear your thoughts on this ever growing topic and who thinks themselves as 'full-stack' or a Software Engineer. Another term that has been propagating lately is Programmer Technician and this arises as the industry continues to grow and like automotive industry as more cars hit the road the more mechanics we need and the same goes for computers and software/application development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading and hope to get some feedback. Code Hard!&lt;/p&gt;
