The cognitive load needed to be a frontend developer is starting to explode a little bit. Pretty soon you'll need to know HTML/CSS/Visual Design, one high level JS-compiled language (CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Dart), and one JS MVC framework (Backbone, Angular, Ember) to call yourself a frontend developer.
I'm not sure how sustainable that is, and I often wonder if we'll see the rise of a "middle stack developer" that just deals with the JS intricacies.
