@AlexDeLarge beat me to it.
Some of us are full stack and no there’s really no other word for it when we can scope, design, build, test, deploy, and maintain any part of the project or the entire project.
And others are js junkies, who use node as an excuse to call them selves full stack.

I really hate the term fullstack developer. Just call it what it really is. Javascript react developer who dabbles in node occasionally.
If you don't have some knowledge of tuning a database, tuning your runtime, handling issues with networks and latency in your code, dealing with issues with message queues, writing abstraction layers for the database, etc. you aren't a backend developer, sorry to say.
Being able to reason about a mean stack running on digital ocean doesn't not make you proficient in the backend.
