In my experience, full-stack is a bit of a hoax.
Yes, i have met a few very impressive developers with a deep understanding of both back-end and front-end needs and challenges, however most of the full-stack developers I've met (the vast majority) were actually either skilled back-end developers with mediocre skills in front-end, or not-here-nor-there developers.
They were very good, most of them, but couldn't deal with the 'magic' that's sometimes required of skilled true frontend developers.
