Front end doesn't change that much from an implementation and coding perspective.
To that I mean, if you could code 5 years ago, and deploy a front end of any sort 5 years ago, you won't have many issues today.
People still use redis/memcached, mysql, php, apache2, with laravel for example.
And solutions such as docker, with unvetted builds snagged from random people, are no different, functionally, than a VM or even a bare metal cluster.
I will agree that the absurd node ecosystem, with its unsecure, unauditable packages, composer and its insane web of just stupid dependancies are ridiculous.
But that's not rapid change of method or coding language, just because behind the scenes it's all just language such as php.
So sure, the cruft is just that, but the meat is what drives change, and a lot of it.
