    :laugh: nice one. I think this is why I have never wanted to move away from a technical role - our current buzzwords from above us in the business are AI, machine learning and block chain. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” ― Christopher Hitchens

    If the stack is full, you can't put anything else on it, therefore a full stack developer is one who can't do anything else, because he's already too busy. CQ de W5ALT Walt Fair, Jr., P. E. Comport Computing Specializing in Technical Engineering Software

    It means that it has no priotity at all. When I was working at a major company, the engineering manasger called me in one day to tell me that the company was reorganizing into teams and he wanted me to be a team leader. I told him that real teams have cheerleaders and I wantedto select the cheerleaders and design their skimpy uniforms, he concluded that I wasn't team leadr material, which was Ok with me.

    Yeah, that's more likely. When I was project leader and we started a new project, I always talked to my team and said. " The most importsant item is to decide who we will blame for any problems and the answer is easy:"It's always the consultant's fault. If you can't live with that, don't be a consultant."
