Not fully programming related, but one book that made a massive impact on my abilities as a full stack dev was “Refactoring UI” by Adam Wathan & Steve Schoger.

From my experience, a lot of devs who work in a full stack roles are stronger as backend devs but they have some basic understanding of how to build a frontend in one of the popular frameworks, such as React. If we are working with a good designer this is usually enough, but having a simple mental modal for how to make something look good really goes a long way. The way that this book was written gave me a good grasp of this by explaining it in a way similar to how I’d think about software (as opposed to being more vague and abstract, which a lot of design books aimed at designers tend to be).
