    Great sign for the industry when newbie material starts out like this. \s

    Nowadays I actively scare people away who ask me about getting into web dev. "Well, first you'll need to learn about 12 different technologies... you'll get your first job based on 6 of those and throw away the other 6, can't say which... then you'll replace those 6 with 6 more that do pretty much the same thing... then a year later when the industry changes you'll throw away 4 of those and learn 4 more which do, like I said, pretty much the same thing..." By this time the person is already changing the subject.

    Surprised that there's not a single mention of Accessibility as part of Front end developer road map.
