Thank god I have a specialization that allows me to not have to follow the framework crap. I could care less about staying up to date with some dude's opinionated way of doing things. It has not affected me getting a job, because when I go to get a job I work in an industry where my domain expertise is valued much higher than the fact I like framework X or happen to have used it or forced myself to read some book on it. I feel sorry for people who all they have is that going for them, it's a rough like constantly keeping up and re-learning the same MVC or UI lipstick every year. If you call yourself a React programmer, you're the next PHP Symfony Programmer or "Rails Developer". It's a completely different kind of engineer, kind of like the difference between someone who does IT but can't code. I cringe and immediately avoid any companies who advertise for "React Engineers" and the like. I realize that some developers couldn't care less about what they are actually working, the product behind the code but I'm not one of them.
