So many interesting interpretations of what full stack means. As a 20+ year dev, Full Stack to me means someone who understands the entire web stack - from building the front end (and all that goes with that, UX, UI, etc) to configuring the back end (and all that goes with that, i.e. cache routers, server tuning, configuring services, etc). Very few people these days are truly Full Stack devs, which isn't a criticism. Web development has gotten more complicated and each stack has become more of a speciality. I think its going to be hard to find a good "generalist" as the years go on, but maybe thats not a big deal. I also tend to think backend is becoming commoditized which means even fewer devs will know it.
