Below is the list of coding language a full stack developer will actually know.
- HTML

- Node.js / Node Ecosystem (Express, NPM, etc.)

- Git
- A professional quality code editor such as VS Code
- The basics of deploying an app to a cloud environment such as AWS, Azure, or even just Heroku.
Other skills such as Angular, MongoDB, etc are nice to have and necessary for many jobs, but I think the technologies up above are the “must-haves” for a full-stack developer in 2019.
Other runner-ups include jQuery and Bootstrap. While neither are required (and jQuery is basically legacy at this point) they are both common enough that developers should know the basics.
