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...

that's fair, mine was a recruiter so I just assumed. Always frustrating that our careers hang in the balance of people who don't understand what we do

My current employer is run by highly technical people, and I know for a fact that the CTO is smarter than I am. It's refreshing.
