I don't particularly believe in full stack (a team with some specialists should be better than a team without any), but plenty of us have to be and maybe aren't as entirely terrible at it as is stereotyped in the article.
Though I also think the author fails to appreciate business trade-offs that are involved in some of what's complained about, particularly in environments that need to use full-stack developers. Perhaps it's not ideal, but doing perfect "beautiful" CSS/html is often not the thing with the greatest marginal benefit, particularly with time considerations involved. And the places that need this kind of developer don't feel that they need the quality of output that would come with larger, more specialized teams, or can't afford it.
(Though I also don't believe that anywhere with more than a half dozen or so developers is avoiding appropriate specializations.)
