Reading Time: 5 minutesThis is a continuation of a previous post that I wrote, entitled Front-end for the Middle: Focus and Design. Previously, we established that it’s better for a front-end developer to be focused on content, rather than design.

Gino Toro, (former) product manager for Media Manager was going to be speaking on Media Manager, so I decided to try a different topic.
