Front-end developers should prioritize mastering HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before reaching for tools like Sass, LESS, Bower, or Bootstrap.

Package managers like Bower make it dangerously easy to bloat a codebase. Core language knowledge is the real constraint on how effectively any tooling can be used.
