The responsibilities we once considered fundamental for front-end developers are changing rapidly. Here’s where we see the role going in 2023.

Times are changing. Fast.

In the last 10-15 years of front-end development, we have managed to transition from HTML with a few dropdowns on JQuery, to full-on Single Page Applications, where the entire logic of the web experience is written on the frontend, and the backend is a very thin layer that mainly handles authorization and fetching data from the database.

To make things even more interesting, the rise of server-side rendering (SSR) and serverless architectures could transition us back to where we started:  a world where the code is returned to the server.
