I haven't found any backend developer that has labelled himself/herself "fullstack". In my country, so far the "fullstack" developers i've seen are the JS frontend guys that learnt how to do server dev in Node.js.
A backend dev is usually higher paid than a frontend, so it makes sense.
- ericmcer 9y agoI don't get why Node.js is looked down upon in respect to other server technologies. I have worked on Rails and Node apps, and just started a new job working with Scala/Play framework. Node paired with Nginx has been the easiest to start new projects on, develop on, and it is more performant than the other two.

I come more from a background in backend programming (but typically label myself "full-stack") and recently did my first Node.js project -- getting it live with Nginx took like 20 minutes. That was a pleasant surprise compared to my first experiences with something like Django, for example.
