In a Microsoft centered development shop the full stack developer needs to have enough knowledge to install the operating system, on server or desktop, configure the appropriate services (understand most of IIS and be able to troubleshoot it), create applications (web or desktop), create databases and configure/install database server (we are talking SQL here, not Access), and troubleshoot the users desktop at an advanced level. Basic knowledge of networking (can you analyze packets?) is also a plus. In a non-MS environment just replace the pieces with the appropriate pieces necessary, apache, mysql, or whatever is being ran. As well as ability to install OS, and troubleshoot. A full-stack developer should know more about the technology in the network/infrastructure/database than the average person who is responsible for those items at a company. (A full stack developer should be able to beat out an average DBA at their job--)
