Agreed. Just look at this article: The Death of Front-end Developers (https://medium.com/@jerrylowm/the-death-of-front-end-develop...)

The author states: "Even without the divide on the front-end I still hear lots of people claiming they’re full stack developers — I guarantee they’re not."

I don't understand his perspective here. If you work on the front and backend then you are a full-stack developer. If on the other hand, a full-stack developer claimed to be an expert on both the front and backend...then I would be wary.

I was a backend dev who can now also do frontend :)

Yeah I hate the we're going to redefine full stack developer to mean world renown expert on front end and back end. And then say there are no full stack developers.

When there are plenty of products that get shipped everyday by "full stack developers". Who don't necessarily identity as exclusively a front end or back end dev.
