I mean, my job title is currently "Full Stack Software Engineer" and I manage to get by only writing Typescript. Yes I have to do all of the things mentioned in the article: React, CSS, AWS, Docker, Databases, etc. We do a lot of greenfield so I'm the one setting these things up.

But it's basically all in the web paradigm. I don't have to work on mobile apps or drivers or something. So I think "Full stack" isn't really a good descriptor. I'm more so a "Web developer" than anything. Which is complicated, yes, but if you were a mobile developer your world would be completely different and have its own software ecosystem.



You haven't been tasked with mobile and AI ... YET !
