Ten Years In: How Front-End Has Grown Up (and Out)

The job feels broader than it did when I started. Getting a page to look right is still part of it, but now I'm also thinking about build tools, accessibility, performance and how the team shares its work.

Some of that is welcome. I like having a say in how something works before it reaches a browser. Some of it is tiring; there's a lot to keep up with. I don't think the answer is to become an expert in every new corner of the job.
