What is a "Front-end MacGyver?"
A Front-end MacGyver is basically a practical problem solver. As a web designer/ web developer I usually find myself in situations where I needed to be very resourceful to deliver success. To me, MacGyver is the embodiment of resourcefulness. His education and experience made him knowledgeable, disciplined, dependable, and an all-around nice guy. I think MacGyver offers inspiration for both “File > New” sites and the repair and maintenance of legacy sites and content management systems.
A Front-end MacGyver requires not only the latest industry best practices but also, an understanding of legacy resources. Since most projects are not “File > New” projects one must evaluate the value of the exist resources. Does it still have value? Will it's reuse save money if left in for the product’s lifetime? It takes years of experience using CSS, Flash, JavaScript and doing CMS integration to acquire the skills become a Front-end MacGyver.
