Having wore that title before, it means "developer who is able to build a JavaScript application and bring it to production".
For me, this included doing UX/UI, the design, implementing web front-end (HTML, CSS, making sure it's responsive and optimized), the front-end business logic (Angular, React, Vue), setting up the server (typically the "back-end", either node.js or a more traditional approach like PHP), persisting to a database (like using MongoDB), managing APIs, etc.
I am not a fan of the title "full-stack" (to me, that's just what being a developer is) but you need to wear it in order to get the right job offers and salary.
For the longest time, front-end meant "HTML+CSS and a pinch of jQuery". So we need a title to break away from that trend.
- remram 6y agoYeah, it feels to me that it used to be HTML, CSS, JavaScript, a server language like PHP, and a SQL database. Now it's just JavaScript (with JSX), JavaScript (with express), and a JSON store (MongoDB, etc). The term "javascript fullstack" in the submitted article just gave me pause, you can be "fullstack" and really know a stack that's one thing deep.
