It´s almost impossible to be a complete expert full-stack dev these days.
Only if your definition of full stack means knowing all of every possible combination of technologies... but if you are very proficient with one or a few backend languages, DBs, etc, and frontend tech - which still always only boils down to js, css, and html.. yes its absolutely possible to be an "expert"
Web Engineer. Working mostly with PHP, Symfony and Golang.
Entusiast about Engineering Best Practices, Continuous Delivery and DevOps.
Sports and FC Porto fan!
Yes the definition of full-stack is important and can have different interpretations.
For me being able to build an application with an API, the frontend and then put in live is full stack.
But I think you will always be more proficient in one area or another.
While Frontend basics is just css, html and js, nowadays frontend is much more than that. there are SPAs, PWAs, performance, accessibility, ES6, different frameworks etc.
That's why I say it's very difficult to be an "expert" in both.
You can perfectly be expert in one area and good enough in the other tough, I agree.
