What, in 2010, a full stack developer didn't need to understand UX? Did the provisioning layer somehow magically vanish in 2010?

Its a bunch of false comparisons.

The simple facts are this:

1) Full Stack Developer == Generalist [ Do lots of things; not 100% as fast or effectively as a specialist]

2) Specialty Developer == One area of profession-level competence [e.g. Front End Developers would need to go and start learning all the other areas/categories from essentially scratch since they haven't touched them at a profession level in years]

I'm not sure why people need to come up with a bunch of silly comparisons that are more complex than this and call generalists a "myth".
