> Indie full-stack developers can no longer keep up with frontend development, and I think that's a great loss. Who exactly? Did you ever hear a front-end developer say that or are you building a strawman? There's nothing stopping anyone from building a simple jQuery powered website. There's nothing stopping anyone from building an app with Angular 1 either. Hell, you can even download .zip files on GitHub, unarchive them in a folder and start using them in your projects. Complex build system are only a way to streamline development when you get to a certain level of projects output.
