Title: I&#x27;ve been working on frontend dev for several years now, in the pre and post framework era. React and the other frameworks and ES6 in general, has meant a ton of change to the very basics of how we work.<p>The way I do basic things has changed fundamentally in the last 4-5 years. Some of that is because I&#x27;m no longer a &quot;beginner&quot;, but much is because things have just changed a ton.<p>People who know the JS &#x2F; frontend ecosystem AND backend stuff as well:<p>Is this rate of change unique to JS, or is it everywhere? 
Is Rails very, very different now than 4-5 years ago?  Django?<p>I use PHP a bit and I&#x27;ve seen that change a bit, but it feels like mostly for the better, with namespaces in particular. Otherwise, I don&#x27;t feel like PHP has had near the amt of change that JS has had.<p>tl;dr:   is it crazy everywhere or just with JS&#x2F;frontend?
