I know managers love that term, but I think I've come to hear it as an insult... Sorta like being called an unprofessional "jack of all trades" budget handyman that does everything mediocre...

โ˜๏ธ Just flexing.

"Full stack" is meant to be complimentary but is also highly situational, in the same way credentialed engineers and credentialed architects bristle when those.terms are used in the tech sector. They Did the Program, and Showed the Work. Those.of us in the tech sector are doing some stolen valor.by adopting those titles in our roles.

"Full stack" is situational because no two shops use the same stack. Every shop has its own technology preferences, so if you know Apache and ServiceNow, you'll still be useless in a shop that uses Xendesk and Nginx. It just.means you know YOUR venue's technology organization.

Really it's an industry buzz term, and you should run from any recruiters who casually use it but can't also describe exactly WHAT stack that shop they're pimping is using.
