>>A “full-stack programmer” who has created non-trivial applications.
Pardon my ignorance but:
What is a full-stack programmer?
How does one try to get to the levels of a full-stack programmer?
What exactly is a a non-trivial application? Examples?
How does one get started on these non-trivial applications?
- alex_c 16y agoI'm assuming they're looking for web developers - in this context full-stack means someone who's perfectly comfortable with all technologies involved in a web app, from front-end (CSS, JavaScript), to backend (Ruby on Rails, PHP, etc.), to database work, and anything else that might come up (designing for scalability, working with EC2, etc.)
- georgieporgie 16y agoI thought full stack meant literally the full software stack, from OS-level, native apps, on up through web stuff. Or is that "software generalist"?

At Performable, full-stack means being capable to build atop Hadoop, HBase, Python/Tornado and HTML/SASS/CoffeeScript. Of course, you don't have to be the best at either end of the spectrum, but being able to visualize your feature through every layer would be great.
