I recall the term "Full Stack Web Developer" being coined by Randy Schmidt (of Nerd Merit Badges fame) back in June of 2008. "Over the past few months, I have really started to admire what I call “Full Stack Web Developers”. A full stack web developer is someone that does design, markup, styling, behavior, and programming. Some examples of these types of developers are Jason Tremblay, Geoffrey Grosenbach & Tom Preston-Werner." --Randy Schmidt The original link is dead, but it's still available via the Wayback Machine.

Let that sink in for a moment and consider the countless job descriptions you've seen in the last fourteen years.
