I meant even within the world of being a full stack dev, having an "angle" on your experience or resume. Full stack dev with lots of experience in Pandas. Heavy database optimization background, etc etc. Nothing quite as esoteric as Erlang, but I think in a pool that big you need to find something to stand out a bit.

Most full stack roles aren't that specialized (by definition). So if someone has a heavy database optimization background he probably wasn't a full stack dev. It's just a different role. Sure you can maybe pick up on some of those skills on your job while troubleshooting some performance issue, but those issues are quite rare and far between. And again, I'm not sure a database optimization guy would find the current market any better than a full stack developer who specialized in Node and React. How many companies need a heavy database optimization background guy? Why does it make you more attractive if you have that on your resume than someone who worked only on Node and React for 8 years?
