If someone were to call you a "full stack" developer, would that feel like a complement or an insult? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I know managers love that term, but I think I've come to hear it as an insult... Sorta like being called an unprofessional "jack of all trades" budget handyman that does everything mediocre...

I think every programmer should know how to write frontend and backend code, and how to deploy their code. Sure, everyone has their own specialization and things they like to do, but that doesn't mean they should be ignorant of all aspects of software development.
