All those tools for coding! I'd like to add Stoplight studio as a nice GUI to document your API according to OAS. Documentation is just so important.

I use all of these you mention (except bootstrap, dropped it for Tailwind), however, React and Vue are Frontend frameworks. We can argue if that is a tool, but if, then we totally miss Backend related "tools" (maybe worth 1 bullet point then mention Rails, Django, Node, Next/Next, Buffalo, ..) and condense react+Vue into Frontend-Tools.

For me, full stack should also include being able to deploy your stuff, so possibly mention Terraform, Capistrano, Vercel, Jenkins,...

Oh, and throw in some CI/CD & automation tools, e.g. Jenkins (again), Buddy.works, CircleCI, GitHub Actions (although they aren't very mature yet). Since we all love automation ;)

Checking on my time logging, which tool I use most, I get to good old Terminal.. possibly the most powerful and versatile tool of all! It's so worth learning some she'll scripting!

You know these are really good points you mentioned. Truth is, the article wasn't really organized to cover all, but I will reorganize to cover all aspect of Full-Stack development, down to deployment, maintenance and publicity.

Though I did mention NodeJs.
