It crept up on me too.  I was never paid to be a web developer, it was
a side hustle, for midnight projects and shadow IT.

What I recall is that specialisation evolved in the web developer
market to make use of several competing technologies.

"A full stack web developer is a person who can develop both client and
server software. In addition to mastering HTML and CSS, he/she also
knows how to: ... Program a server (like using PHP, ASP, Python, or
Node) Program a database (like using SQL, SQLite, or MongoDB)"

https://www.w3schools.com/whatis/whatis_fullstack.asp

At the time this terminology was starting, my practice was to use a
filesystem for data storage rather than an SQL API, so I never
qualified as "full stack".  Now, I touch databases if I have to.  And
wash my hands afterwards.
