I do not think full stack is nearly as impossible as it used to be. The article misses what in my opinion is one of the most important backend stacks for web/mobile apps, which is node.js, for instance utilizing GraphQL on a serverless architecture. When using Javascript over frameworks such as express, with modules like passport for authentication (to mention one of many), back-end development is suddenly opened up to those that typically only did front end. My guess is that in a few years it is expected for web developers to know it all (language will become irrelevant).
