Full stack development has not always looked the way it does today. In the early days of web systems, frontend and backend work were handled by different people with different toolsets, which often slowed down development and made coordination harder. Over time, new rameworks, shared languages, cloud services, and modern deployment practices made it more realistic for one developer to manage the entire flow of a web application. This shift reduced communication gaps and improved delivery speed. Recently, artificial intelligence has started influencing this space by automating routine coding tasks, detecting issues earlier, and suggesting improvements during development. This paper reviews how full stack development has changed over the years, how AI tools are currently being used, and what challenges still exist. It also reflects on possible future directions, including lower coding overhead and smarter development environments that support developers rather than replacing them.
