I've seen another problem, that's probably not going to happen with any of you careful hackers, but still seen it: where developers barely implement any security on their backend API and just go with filtering the results on the frontend side ...

With server side rendering of course you can still not-secure user input, but at least with template rendering, what you see is what you can see.

It "feels" (my personal biases and experience caveats apply) like "full stack" engineers aren't really that, but are rather great front-end developers with the back-end being an after thought.

Agreed, for me "full stack" really means the opposite: system and networks, backend / databases, and frontend. In most projects, even just mastering half of jquery does the job, as long as you at least know HTML with SEO and CSS well.

But then again, that's also IMHO
