What about the incredible front end Devs that only know JS/CSS/HTML? They can still be true craftspeople in their art, be it cross-browser/platform issues or performance tweaking.

Compare python devs of today to fortran devs of the 60s. Something like that distance. Maybe more. But the trend isnt new.
We have been seeing this shift for a while, where "software engineers" graduate from 3 month bootcamps. Except now most likely they will not be earning 500k making crud apps.
