As a front-end developer who came up in the age of defining web standards movement, progressive enhancement and separation of presentation, behavior and styling, reading this makes me feel less relevant than I've ever been.

I haven't kept up with Javascript as I should have, seeing how it developed from a nice little add-on, to being incorporated in AJAX apps like Google Maps and now seeing it eat the industry alive as a full-stack language.

Plain old HTML, CSS and JS seem to be less defined today than ever before considering how much is JS driven and provided through popular frameworks like Bootstrap. It worries me that the entry to relevant web development and web design become more difficult as these approaches advance and what the end user becomes stuck with are one of many platforms and frameworks instead of an ease of creation with the raw code itself.
