When I started and was looking for internship, I was using fullstack a lot. It's a buzzword and gets you a lot of interviews.
Now that I'm a full time employee, I don't use it anymore. Here's other reasons why :
Managers don't understand the term fullstack. They think you are an expert in every possible field. Frontend, backend, testing, CI/CD, database, containerization and whatnot. No. A fullstack person is a developer who might be specialized in something and fluent in that field, and may quickly understand and fiddle in oters.
Companies want to reduce costs, so they engage 1 fullstack to do the job of 5 persons. It's a lose for everyone. The fullstack person has the responsibilities and the work load of a whole team but is payed a single salary. The other 5 persons are unemployed. And don't forget that as you are fullstack, you are probably alone in the team. Good luck with knowledge management (either there is none, either it's gone with you) and organization (being agile and alone is complicated)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
