This was definitely my experience when I tried to move from python/django to javascript and gulp/browserify/foundation/nunjucks/backbone And it almost led to me getting fired. I almost certainly made rookie mistakes in trying to set up my development environment, but I think the lesson learned here is that when I try that again, I'm going to either:

1) Work with each tool individually first and really get to know it.

2) Have someone else who is experienced in this assemble the toolchain with the promise that I can come to them to debug toolchain problems.
