What is a full stack web developer?

A full stack programmer is an all-around developer who is experienced in many areas of software development and often has a supporting or management role. Such a developer is familiar with both frontend and backend and ideally has mastered all common programming languages. As generalists in software and programming languages, full stack developers combine the skills of backend developers and frontend developers, but can also take on the tasks of system administrators, data scientists and machine learning developers. They can work in all fields of software programming and development.
