It's funny because recently a "full stack" dev who's in reality 95% frontend was telling me he's not a fan of Tailwind and that he'd rather learn "proper" CSS.

And the irony is of course, he never wants to use a relational DB to avoid SQL, so No-SQL DB it is.

I've unfortunately met a number of "full stack" devs recently that are clearly 95% frontend as well, and have a very similar attitude as that person toward backend tech in general. We of course should not take such a small sample size and draw any sort of conclusions, but it's definitely a trend I'm looking out for now whenever someone claims to be "full stack." If the only backend stuff you've done is Firebase, or just a handful of serverless functions that don't do much, or if the "backend" you have in mind is just SSR-ing templates into HTML, then you really should qualify any claims about backend.
