Link tags: yeoman

I finally made sense of front end build tools. You can, too.

I still find the landscape of build tools completely overwhelming, but I found this distinction to be a useful way of categorising the different kinds of build tools:

Build tools do two things:

1. Install things
2. Do things

So bower, npm and yarn install things, whereas grunt, gulp, and webpack do things.

I think.

(Those are just words, aren’t they? Y’know, as opposed to a sentence that would actually make sense to most right-thinking people.)
