I still get a kick out of the fact that the person that came up with Nerd Merit Badges is the same person that came up with the term fullstack and almost nobody mentions it or even gets the original meaning of the term.
- cachvico 3y agoThat is very interesting - found your older post pointing to https://web.archive.org/web/20110210194715/http://forge38.com:80/blog/2008/06/full-stack-web-developers/ https://web.archive.org/web/20110210194715/http://forge38.co... So actually a full-stack developer, according to the person who coined the term, is not just someone who can do backend and front-end, but you need to have the design (and business) chops too.
