The Author is speaking from their own experience looking at job postings, descriptions and interviews. He stated that this for JavaScript developers and there are other tech or there.

He grouped Vercel/Netlify/AWS together in the context for CI/CD as a Frontend dev concern.

Is it that you didn't like his own subjective experience excluded other technologies?

You are right in bolding Javascript Developers, because it wasn't clear from the generic title.

In my case I would straightforward skipped the article because of it (it's not a topic I'm eager to read too much), rather than skimming quickly and deduce that it was JS centric.
As other commenters, I think full-stack means many other things and we probably clicked on the link with misleading expectations.
I had a gut feeling, when not reading "Full-Stack Developer Tech StackS", but the dopamine kicked already: I clicked expecting a comparison on trending techs for the year 2021, scrolled down to the list (missing the Javascript detail) and found out it wasn't of my interest.

It was a clash between (as explained by others below):

  • author omitting "JS" in the title of the post.
  • users still hoping to get more diverse quality content on DEV.to, and getting disappointed by the usual JS-centric post, useful for many beginners (as tagged) but redundant for many other devs.

Personally I learned from this post, that I should just unsubscribe from DEV.to's newsletter; cause it always catches my attention (with a nice UI, click-bait titles, short format) but it mostly doesn't satisfy my curiosity.
