Me too. But I think we need to find a new term for “full stack” at this point. Full stack developer was kind of the trendy “I do JavaScript and server stuff too”—though when I visited with adherents I usually found that many migrate to one part mostly and cede the other areas to others.
I do the kind of stuff shown here, embedded C, mqtt servers, native mobile apps, etc, but I have been leery of using the term “full stack.”
But now I’m seeing the term used more often in a more general abstracted sense, like the above. I see this type of person as a polymath (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymath https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymath). I’d propose the term polytech, but that term is pretty overloaded already, and polyeng just doesn’t role off the tongue very well.
