Hey Matt,
can't agreed completely. In nowadays might be a dead simple task learn something. After 3rd programming language all looks the same, just different syntax. And i know one designer who define the target - learn at least laravel for prototyping, and i saw on my own look that he did the design job and php simple backend. What do you think? I guess in nowadays all people should have a wide scope of view but core specialization in something deeply than others. Just 5 cents

If a front-end developer also knows a server-side language then it's definitely a big plus and they could potentially then work as a full-stack developer. But it's definitely not a requirement for the job. I have been involved in hiring plenty of front-end developers that know HTML, CSS, and JS who can't build out the back-end.
