A full stack developer is what turns into an Architect. If you cannot build, operate, tune and debug the full stack, at scale, you are not an architect.

Ah yes, I love cleaning up the mess every "architect" I've ever worked under has left on the front-end. Front end development is an arcane art, full of a million gotchas that have nothing to do with intuition, intelligence, or programming skill. It's just years and years of running into stupid mistakes and API quirks to build that domain knowledge. Anyone who doesn't respect and accept that is sorely mistaken.
I wouldn't agree. A building architect isn't an expert at all the trades that are required to fulfill his design; he just has a strong understanding of how everything fits together and what is/isn't possible.
Agree, and the mess is when an architect thinks they are the head and know better than everyone else. I doubt there would be a mess if the architect said let’s do x and someone said oh no y is a better approach and they lived happily ever after ;)
