Would the term 'full stack developer' really need explicit (i.e. Cisco) sysadmin qualifications? What about more of the devops "get stuff working" on cloud platforms (EC2, Google App Engine, Heroku etc) using proven load balancing / caching

It used to be disparaging (compared to Oxbridge) I don't think it has those connotations any more - the few red brick universities in the uk place highly in rankings.

You are 100% wrong about red brick universities. Are you English? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_brick_university

I (and I'm sure many other internet users) don't even take account of that stuff - I automatically hone into the content (typically, in a column somewhere near the left of the page) and ignore the ads to the sides. Still, ads everywhere and

I've not used Yeoman before, but we use mimosa http://mimosajs.com to do our front end building pipeline. What are your opinions on something like mimosa? Bower and Grunt seem interesting, I'll go look into them.
