What does a full stack developer actually do?
SHORT ANSWER
Builds a whole website or web app, front to back: the part you see and tap, the part on the server that does the work, and the database that remembers everything.

A LITTLE MORE
A little more detail.
- The front endWhat you see: the buttons, the pages, the menu in a food delivery app. Built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React.
- The back endWhat happens after you tap "Order": checking the address, saving the order, telling the restaurant. Built with Node.js.
- The databaseWhere everything is kept: users, orders, addresses, and the fact that you ordered biryani four times this week. MongoDB is one of them.
- Why "full stack"Someone who understands all three layers can build a working product end to end, and talk to every part of a team.
