I feel some recruiters think if they're hiring a web developer, they must be good at that AND:
Mobile app development
DevOps
Design (for full-stack web dev mostly)
And God knows what else! 🤷♂️
I sincerely think they're in a great misconception. Come on man, I'm good at web dev that's why I want to _dev_elop a _web_site! I'm not good at Kubernetes!
I am a Full stack .NET Developer, I like to work with C#, .Net Core, SQL, Mongo DB, Azure, JavaScript , Angular...
Always eager to learn new technologies. I am here to share, ask & eventually learn.
Self-taught designer, developer, and musician. JS, CSS, React, Next, Vue, Node, and much more. Studying computer information systems at Mississippi College.
That's what I originally thought about backend technologies. However, as I move into increasingly difficult frontend topics I've learned that having experience in Node, NPM, custom APIs, and other server-side is extremely beneficial.
Lead Developer, business owner, US Army veteran. I build things for the web. My website is a bunch of HTML pages that didn't need a framework. Yours can be too!
Yes, but also to varying degrees. I started in FE, but I'm also very comfortable building a backend codebase. I'm weaker with DB and devops.
Don't get me wrong, I can stand-up a DB and deploy kubernetes containers, but when you get into the deep understanding issues I lean on my teammates that have devoted more time to those disciplines.
Full Stack doesn't mean "knows everything at an advanced level" it just means you can be productive and contribute at any level (while knowing when to call for backup and not spinning your wheels when someone else could help you get there faster)
A common misconception about web development is that a web developer should excel in everything—mobile app development, DevOps, UI/UX design, and more. While full-stack developers do cover front-end and back-end, expecting them to master unrelated areas like Kubernetes or mobile frameworks is unrealistic. Each domain requires specific expertise, and a skilled web developer focuses on building and optimizing websites. Hiring managers should understand that being a web developer doesn't mean being a tech generalist. Clear role expectations help both employers and developers thrive. Let web developers do what they do best—develop robust, user-friendly websites.

:) But I think this is the Job of Full Stack Developer. Isn't ?
Well, for me as a front-end dev, all of those skills just doesn't make sense!

Highly agree with this. Thanks for your input :)
I’m going to use this phrase instead of full stack :)
