> A front end developer should be aware which technology they can use given their audience’s clients. A front end stack that targets an audience with modern clients will be structured a lot differently then for audience that might have legacy clients. If you suspect your audience might use legacy clients, you have to accommodate that by adding different tools and techniques to your code base. If everyone wrote standards compliant code then the browser vendors and would be forced to update, and the web would be a more coherent place. Browsers that don't stay up-to-date would (rightfully) become quantifiably inferior products and people would likely stop using them if they couldn't render pages (their intended purpose). It's ridiculous that we have to keep compiling code to old standards so big corporate can save a few bucks not upgrading their computers and work stations.
