open source has won, we are innovating at faster and faster speeds than ever before, and the best innovations eventually bubble up to the top, bad ideas get peer reviewed out and thrown away before the whole world depends on them, this is amazing!
I for one am perfectly able to track all this innovation within my specialties (enterprise web dev) across multiple language ecosystems, and if I miss something, someone in my monkeysphere will make me aware of it, all of this fuss sounds like hot air to me.
Maybe because you're primarily a front-end developer? If front-end is not your fulltime job it's really hard to keep up with all the new frameworks and changes.
Agreed. I'm an enterprise dev who tries to keep a finger on the pulse but it can be quite difficult. I take my eye off the ball for 6 months and it turns out grunt is no good?! etc etc.
