Ask HN: Are you both a web and mobile app developer?
With job postings often demanding expertise in everything, I’m curious—do successful developers typically specialize in just one area, or is it becoming necessary to master both web and mobile development?
As a web developer, I’m debating whether to expand into mobile development or double down on refining my web skills. While frameworks like React Native exist, the learning curve is still significant, I suppose.
If you’re experienced in either (or both), what has your journey been like? Do you find specializing more valuable, or is versatility the key to success?
For what it might be worth, freelancing is my preferred career path, but it's a question for everyone.
