> And then after you get laid off from the vanishing few remaining companies using old tech and can’t find another job... As we speak, banks are migrating from systems written in cobol/fortran to systems written in java. I just got quite a few recruiters contacting me for open java jobs. Sure, frontend code was in angular and they offered training for it, but for some even angular might be considered to be "ancient" because they're living in a react bubble (not saying that you are).

I know just enough about the front end to call myself a “full stack developer” and get past the HR filters. But front end developers are a dime a dozen and the pay shows it. I keep up just enough in case I need a job now and I want to get something fast. When the day comes that I do decide to leave my job and I leave by choice, I’m staying buzzword compliant enough to be an overpriced “cloud consultant”, “digital transportation consultant” or whatever the hype of the day is. But, I wouldn’t take a job doing Angular knowing that React is more popular and I would rather add React to my resume than Angular.
