Building full-stack apps solo can feel like juggling five different hats at once.

On the frontend, there’s the pressure to make everything clean, fast, and user-friendly.
On the backend, you’re dealing with databases, authentication, APIs, security, and deployments.

Sometimes it feels like you’re expected to be a designer, architect, and DevOps engineer all at the same time—and honestly, it gets overwhelming.

💡 I’m curious to hear from you all:

👉 What’s the hardest part about building full-stack projects on your own?
👉 And how do you manage to push through those challenges?

Your insights might help a lot of developers (including me!) find better ways to balance the load.

Looking forward to your thoughts! 🙌
