As a self taught developer, who has been learning web development for the last 12 months and hoping to break into the industry , I believe a fullstack developer is someone who knows the whole development process but is very skilled at one area properly

Let's use mern(since it's what am studying) stack for instance

/ = Or
Frontend skills:
Html, Css, JavaScript, typescript

Bootstrap/tailwind as Css frameworks

React/Vue/ angular as spa knowledge

Animation tools like threejs/framermotion

Browser/image optimization

Ssr

Error handling

Mobile responsiveness...

This is a whole lot to know for frontend only

Backend skills:
Nodejs (expressjs/nestjs)

Authorization and authentication

Data sanitization

Clean code

Error handling

Database(postgresql/MySQL/mongodb)

Database relationships /optimization

This is also a lot to learn even as a beginner..

Deployment:
Docker
Heroku/aws etc

This is not only limited to mern stack, laravel/spring boot/.net 6/Django peeps also do it

And then u need to learn data structures and algorithms for interviews ...na wa o


I just feel one needs to learn some of this things on the job

My God help boys in this grind

To people learning Docker, Heroku, Nelify and the likes. Try to add Cpanel to your list.

It might be funny but a lot of people/companies still uses cpanel. It's ubiquitous and cheap.

Lastly, full stack is cheap labor. Na small companies dey need them. By the time a company is solid, they normally differentiate everything.

Front-end
Backed
Devops

Well it's not that much honestly and to be truthful you don't even need everything there and you are sure of job. But I did mechanics of machines, thermodynamics, engineering mathematics one to four, control theory alongside a host of others with absolutely nothing to show for it

Point of correction, to be fully Stacked is not a cheap labor, it simple means you are pluggable to fit with the team. I am a full Stack Engineer. I just got an offer with one of the leading financial services provider in Niģeria as a Frontend Engineer (MEAN Stack) while I am also working as a Backend for another. Been a full Stack will increase your chances of grabbing opportunities.

Least I forgot to add this. Anytime I am available to take up a new job and I attend 3 to 4 interviews. I always get 2 to 3 offers.

You can only be cheap as a fullstack engr when you sell on Fiverr.

You got employed as a front-end developer which validates my point. If a company employ you to do full stack developer, they are most likely cheating you.

Nothing wrong with being a Full Stack Developer but most sane development company won't hire you as one.
