The &quot;full stack&quot; listed in the article was missing growing the silicon and screwing the servers to the rack.  Seriously, the list of what the author considers &quot;full stack&quot; was extreme.  Otherwise, I know a lot of people (including myself) who can build you a high-performance web-app from scratch, using current tech and what I consider to be a &quot;full stack&quot; (most of what is mentioned in the article).<p>The author just cannot afford to pay them.  Because that kind of skill comes at a high price.  And that&#x27;s where the bitching starts -- you cannot find a competent, capable &quot;full-stack&quot; developer who wants to work for chump change.  People with those skills know what they are worth, and expect to get paid.
