I blame Javascript and the "hipster" devs that fueled its rise unnaturally.
Your comment seems like an opportunistic attack on a type of developer you don't personally like rather than something that is rooted in reality.
well, generally a JavaScript developer is just a frontend developer so I'm assuming at least some have experienced a PM saying: too many people are doing X which we don't want them to do, how do we keep them from doing X? And the developer then makes helpful suggestions.
