Hi Guys--I'm a co-founder at HeapSort. We just launched our MVP this week and we're looking for constructive feedback from the developer and startup communities.

In the coming weeks we'll be launching a series of powerful resume building tools specifically for full stack engineers. It's not just another job board--we're going to totally change the way developers convey their skills to employers.

We welcome any thoughts, comments, or suggestions.

Please include a broader description of Full-stack developers accurate to the term historically over the years.

Full-stack to many (more than not) means hardware, software, and the associated network setup, all in one person.

Being fluent in front/backend software only was normal, not specialized.

Edit: added detail to request

Is this still true in the days of the cloud?

The cloud is nothing new, where openstack exists today to run your own cloud, there were ways to do it in the past. Many solutions end up on dedicated servers in the long term as well.

I just found a job a couple months back, and I love it so far...but my eperience in the marketplace was terrible...tech recruiters are so bad...I am all for anything that moves the ball forward even a little bit in this arena and this seems to be in the right channel. Hopefully this is still around when I am back on the market again.

Would it be feasable to show what an example profile/job-description looks like before signing up?

Yeah, we'll put a better example of the profile on the homepage--probably link to a live one.
