I wasn't around for the C-explosion but it seems like something that is exacerbated by the current ease and normalization of sharing code. Make a framework? Post it on github, go to a conference, write some blog posts, get your framework its own conference, ?, profit! (now I'm thinking of that Southpark guitar hero episode but with famo.us as Stan) There's incentive to put out new tools for the producers of those tools. On the user side it's easier than ever to learn new tech and framework. I'm learning Clojure and in a few weeks I've asked at least five questions about libraries and frameworks on stackoverflow and slack that have been answered by the authors of those tools. It's 3am on a Tuesday/Wednesday and there are still people helping each other out all over the internet, writing how-to blogs, answering Stack questions. As an aside, for all the weird pathologies of this profession and our community I think that's pretty awesome. My point is that even though the continuing learning burden might be volumetrically much larger, I'm not sure it's significantly more difficult.
