How can you be unemployable if you know php or .net? If you look up job postings for plain software development in Denmark right now, 35% of it is JAVA, 35% of it is C# and 15% of it is PHP while the remaining 15% is split between every other stack.
I work in the public sector and we operate more than 300 different IT systems, which means I get to see a lot of different tech stacks. None of them run a backend build on Node. This will probably change going forward, but right now it’s mainly JAVA or C#.
I think you’re biased toward frontend development, it used to be unimportant and now it’s not. I’d go as far as to say that if you can’t do modern frontend development, then you’re just not a full stack web-developer, but unemployable? In what world do you live where C# or PHP makes you unemployable?
I get the FOMO though, especially if you spend a lot of time here on HN. I think a better approach is to ask yourself what you want to work with, so you even want to learn and work with angular/react/Vue? If not, then why bother? Chances are that none of those frameworks will even be around in 10 years. I know people who wanted to work with python, even though it’s not a popular choice in Denmark, who now work with Python. We’re software developers, the world needs a 100 more of you, so you’re free to work with what you want. Enjoy that!
