Front-end engineers are in a position of power today. Node.js, browser-side frameworks like Angular/React, back-end services like Pusher/Parse/Firebase and mobile app platforms like PhoneGap — basically mean that a front-end engineer can build an entire app, make it realtime and also make it work on all mobile devices. This is insane!
