If someone were to call you a "full stack" developer, would that feel like a complement or an insult? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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...

If you're not being sarcastic, why limit yourself to only one thing? If you're working on some amazing UI with tons of CSS animations and a full audiovisual experience, and it takes intimate knowledge of everything frontend, I guess it would make sense. But if you're just making internal CRUD apps, I don't see a reason why a given domain is special enough to have its own job title.
