Do true full-stack developers really exist? Check out this analysis of the myths and realities behind this versatile profession in the world of modern web development.
In the modern tech world, the term Full-Stack Developer often sounds like a superhuman title—someone who can do it all: from frontend to backend, from database to deployment. But, let's be honest—does it really exist?
Simply put, a Full-Stack Developer is a programmer who masters more than one layer of web development. They understand both the frontend (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Vue) and the backend (Node.js, PHP, Python, Laravel, Django, or others), and even a bit about databases, servers, and DevOps.
However, the development world is increasingly complex. Each part of the “stack” has its own specialization—and it's very difficult for one person to be truly an expert in all of them.
