Yes, and to imagine I only got started in front and back-end web-development 3 years ago when I'd say things were even crazier. While learning I was being bombarded by the explosion of HTML5, CSS3, LESS, SASS, Stylus, templating engines: Mustache, Handlebars, Jade, Dust, server side frameworks: express, flatiron, tornado, client-side: prototype, knockout, ember, meteor, etc. It was common for me to see HN announcements for new JS libs or frameworks that would obviate my previous three weeks of work. This really prompted me to enter a magpie phase since it's hard to put your nose to the grindstone if you can hope (often with success) that someone else will solve your problem for you.
