JavaScript, HTML, and CSS have changed a lot since 2012.

I think the problem is folks tend to think like engineers with all their widgets (e.g desktop development in the browser). Even Microsoft is going full TypeScript mode.

Web development is DESIGN first. Think of it like a design project and suddenly the entire workflow changes.

The CSS spec today makes all this stuff super easy people just don’t spend the time actually learning.

In my opinion the Laravel and Rails developers get this right.
