I'm a bit confused about what I need to learn beyond HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Django, and Flask to become a full-stack web developer. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Check out resources like [this roadmap](https://roadmap.sh/full-stack) for a visual guide on what skills you should be building upon. It's a great way to see the path ahead!
You might want to focus on how you can apply your skills to solve real business problems. Instead of just listing technologies, think about what gaps you have in solving those challenges, and address those. That mindset shift has really helped others advance their careers!
In addition to what you know, I recommend diving into databases like PostgreSQL or MongoDB. Some popular JavaScript frameworks like React or Vue can help as well. Also, understanding API development (both REST and GraphQL) and using version control systems like Git is essential. Basic knowledge of DevOps for deploying apps with services like AWS, Heroku, or Vercel will definitely set you apart!
Yeah, and don't forget the importance of database technologies. Getting comfortable with SQL databases and even NoSQL options is key. As you progress, you'll encounter DevOps topics, but that's more of a concern when you're at a more senior level.
Totally agree! Once I started focusing on practical applications, my growth skyrocketed. It's about solving problems, not just knowing the tech!
