The term "webmaster" popped back into my head a few days ago, and I've been thinking about it ever since.

It seems like that's not really a thing anymore.

The web has become so complex that skills have been siloed.

Webmasters used to design, build, and manage websites on their own. Sometimes they hosted the site, too.

But websites have mostly become too complex for that.

I don't even see the term "web designer" used much anymore.

A web designer now has 3 parts:

1. UI designer
2. UX designer (often the same person as the UI)
3. Front end developer (rarely designing anymore)

This has just been what I've seen and felt lately.

What are your thoughts?
