Hiring a full-stack developer
| Stack | What it means |
|---|---|
| MEAN | MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, Node.js — a fully JavaScript-based stack for modern web apps. |
| MERN | Same as MEAN but with React instead of Angular; popular for dynamic, component-driven UIs. |
| LAMP | Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP — a more traditional stack, still widely used in web development. |
| Django | Python on the backend with Django's framework, known for clean, efficient development. |
| Ruby on Rails | Ruby on the backend paired with standard frontend tools, favoured for rapid prototyping. |
| PHP Full Stack | PHP-driven server-side development combined with frontend templating. |
Being specific about the stack saves you sorting through applications that don't translate to your team.
