when i was coming of age, js was a complete joke and no serious backend dev would even sneeze at it. now its all the rage. Fwiw I am no front end dev but people only seem to pay attention to the flashy flashy pretty stuff or drama.  I yearn to offload frontend and go back down to the important stuff. Maybe next year :D 

 I have frontend guys, thankfully.
They also peel my grapes and fan me with large banana leaves.
