What does a full stack developer do?
A full stack developer owns a feature from data to screen. O*NET has no full stack occupation; the closest O*NET occupation is Web Developers (O*NET 15-1254.00), and the tasks that cover the whole stack include:
- Design, build, or maintain Web sites, using authoring or scripting languages, content creation tools, management tools, and digital media.
- Develop databases that support Web applications and Web sites.
- Perform or direct Web site updates.
- Back up files from Web sites to local directories for instant recovery in case of problems.
Which skills should a full stack developer show in a portfolio?
A full stack developer's portfolio should include at least one web application you built and ran yourself, with its database, deployment and backups. Employers read that as proof you can carry a feature without hand-offs.
O*NET's technology list for Web Developers includes Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Redshift and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud; any database and hosting you have run in production makes the same point.

How do people use AI in full stack work?
0.64% of sampled Claude.ai conversations in May 2026 were about the tasks of the O*NET occupation behind this role, according to the Anthropic Economic Index. In those conversations, 55.26% asked Claude to complete the task directly (automation) and 44.74% worked with it iteratively (augmentation).
The shares cover Web Developer tasks, frontend included, and describe Claude usage rather than the job market. A common interview question now is how you check AI-written queries and page code before release.
