Top Skills for a Full-Stack Developer

After looking at top skills for Data Scientist, Product Manager, RPA Developer, I started exploring the key skills for a full stack developer. Full stack developer is kinda "all-rounder" - someone who can program a front-end such as a web-application, database such as SQL, MongoDB, or several others, and savvy with server software like PHP, ASP, Python or others.

The growth of JavaScript based frameworks, has seen a resurgence need for a JavaScript skills. People are looking for ReactJS, VueJS, and a few others. Surprisingly the databases don't make the top 10 but do make the top 20. Additionally, it seems like most of the hiring requires API/Webservices experiences.
