There are full stack engineers, lots of them. This article is extremely narrow minded. It's like saying that there are no nuclear scientists because you've never met one personally.
I remember the last big company I worked for, they asked me "What are you: Front end or Back end?" and when I said that I could do either equally well, they said something like "Lots of people claim to be both but you can be honest with us, which one are you really?“.
I ended up doing only front end at that company for a while then got bored and quit. My next company I did full stack and they actually got to see the benefits of letting engineers use ALL of their skills.
