    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.

    that's a good way to filter out agents.

    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.

    Current Buzzword

    It's the current buzzword, everyone wants a full stack but most don't know what a full stack is, especially the recruiters. They have a hard time knowing what C# is.

    Originally it was quite a specific pattern. Small services, highly decoupled, each with it's own independent database or persistence, and communicating with each other only via publish/subscribe message passing. But very few systems described as microservices resemble this.

    This was originally the philosophy behind SOA (remember that?) but when that got abused some people took the original philosophy and named it 'microservices'. Then that got butchered too

    It's the new fangled thing - ok a wheel reinvention but everything comes in cycles.

    That's a Bingo! They do the same with SQL Server DBA but want Oracle skills as well. Then you find most of the work is Oracle with 10% SQL Server.

    A simpler translation might be a jack of all trades?
    The MS BI Full Stack usually implies SSIS/SSRS/SSRS. I have also read a job spec that required Azure Full Stack: PaaS/IaaS/SaaS.
