Honestly, the term has been watered down by bootcamps and job descriptions demanding 10 years of experience in 5 different frameworks. A true full-stack engineer is fundamentally a resourceful generalist. They have high adaptability and aren't afraid to jump into an unfamiliar legacy codebase, a CSS bug, or a broken CI/CD pipeline to solve the problem at hand."

You hit on a massive frustration, Faiq. Job postings that read like an entire department's tech stack laundry list have definitely hijacked the term. Stripping away the buzzwords, you're spot on—it’s about resourcefulness. A true generalist doesn't get paralyzed when they hit a layer they didn't learn in a tutorial; they just pull up the docs, figure out the tools, and unblock the problem.
