What can I say? Learning the language du-jour landed me a high paying job right out of school. I had a choice at one point : Join the workforce doing web work (and make money right now) vs. spend more time in school and learn more while gaining debts and making no money. Right now I am debt free, living a good life writing modern JS. In my free time, I try to learn more low-level CS knowledge. It's however hard to justify the time spent doing this since none of it is of use during my day job. If University was free and we didn't have to work to eat, I would know everything from the ground up. Sadly, this is not the world we live in.
