you're commenting on sloppy use of language. you're right, we do tend to abbreviate and exclude relevant descriptive words. the "full stack developer" that knows both JavasScript and PHP (or whatever), and probably some database stuff, and how to config a HTTP server, and a few other bits of web odds and ends is really a "full stack web application developer". usually there is enough context to know if "web application" has been abbreviated out of the term though. as for the other kind of "full stack developer", the legendary creature that is equally comfortable doing UI scripting and Linux Kernel hacking...well personally I've never met one. mythical beast in my experience.
