Aha, full stack just refers to developers doing the front-end web design
and also the backend/server code. Backends could be anything from .NET
(very popular) to PHP (also popular) or recently "serverless" technologies
which deploy and scale your code for you, these can use almost any
programming language, eg. javascript (node.js).

A front-end developer typically only works with customer-facing code /
websites. A back-end developer typically only codes the api or implements
supporting layers interacting with databases or other data (typically).
