Full Stack

[woohoo]

I'm not sure it's a meaningless term. Or about companies being cheap.

Like a lot of developers that have worked for software houses or in small dev teams you have to be able to do everything.

When I hear full stack, I know they want someone comfortable working on the UI through to the database and all the layers in between.

It's a good prompt for me to say I'm not a full stack dev, because I haven't really worked on Angular, React, Vue etc. but I know html, bootstrap, javascript, jquery really well.

I don't think I've ever used the term when I've been involved in recruiting developers but I'm happy to understand that it's a general term that is a starting point in understanding the clients requirements.

I usually refer to myself as full stack but a number of agents have started using the term 'polyglot'.

that's a good way to filter out agents.

That simply means the ability to use multiple development languages in one environment e.g. a different one for testing to developing in to deploying in or developing different parts of an application/system in different languages as it is quicker.
