You are right in bolding Javascript Developers, because it wasn't clear from the generic title.

In my case I would straightforward skipped the article because of it (it's not a topic I'm eager to read too much), rather than skimming quickly and deduce that it was JS centric.
As other commenters, I think full-stack means many other things and we probably clicked on the link with misleading expectations.
I had a gut feeling, when not reading "Full-Stack Developer Tech StackS", but the dopamine kicked already: I clicked expecting a comparison on trending techs for the year 2021, scrolled down to the list (missing the Javascript detail) and found out it wasn't of my interest.

It was a clash between (as explained by others below):

  • author omitting "JS" in the title of the post.
  • users still hoping to get more diverse quality content on DEV.to, and getting disappointed by the usual JS-centric post, useful for many beginners (as tagged) but redundant for many other devs.

Personally I learned from this post, that I should just unsubscribe from DEV.to's newsletter; cause it always catches my attention (with a nice UI, click-bait titles, short format) but it mostly doesn't satisfy my curiosity.
