I always assumed full-stack was backend language plus SQL as well as the web server and server OS. So, the L and A in LAMP. Keep in mind that I started in 1996 or so, and only started hearing "full-stack" in recent years.

e.g., using common options:

  - A front end web developer would be HTML/CSS.
  - A back end web developer would be HTML/CSS/MySQL/PHP (or equivalent).
  - Full-stack all of the above plus Apache and Linux.
