Not sure if you're suggesting that it's a problem of knowing the language or sarcastically saying that Node.js allows for developers to not know what's happening.

On the case that you're thinking it's a knowledge of the language issue, that's not what I'm getting at. Typically, what I see with full stack developers is an over reliance on frameworks to do the heavy lifting to the detriment is their skill sets. Often not knowing how to optimize DB queries or trouble shoot performance problems. This works fine in purely CRUD use cases, but falls apart when scaling using more complex patterns starts to occur. I've spoken with Sr and staff full stack developers that truly believe the only thing you need to do in order to scale a web app is add nodes.

Hey, if it consoles you, three quarters of our pure back-end C# developers are as you describe, too.
