> hearing about go, rust, kubernetes, docker, etc make it feel like backend is similarly fast-changing. That's just hacker-news discourse. As for go and rust, backend programming languages aren't changing very much for most people. Python and Java are the most numerically significant languages and the experience of being a backend engineer in those languages doesn't change rapidly. (Python has just spent about 10 years releasing v3 and, while it is a great thing, honestly the difference that will have the most impact on peoples' brain-time is that you can interpolate variables into a string from the local scope using an 'f' prefix, and that `print` now requires function call syntax.) Backend infrastructure is exciting and subject to radical change, however.
