Too bad he wasn't a frontend developer would love to see his take on the changes

  He probably would have asked to go back into prison.

  10 years, or 1 year, wouldn't be much different.

  Honestly, front-end development is probably the most forgiving area of all for tech workers returning from an extended hiatus. Front-end churn is like the apocryphal factoid about the human skin replacing itself completely every few years. It's only a slight exaggeration to say that you're never more than 4 years behind the state of the art in front-end development.

    I got out of school in 2013 and then went to a job that was pretty self isolated, working in proprietary format that wasn't really aware of the rest of industry - at best there was some Python and some .Net work. I took another position a couple of years ago where I got throw into the deep end of the modern material - ASP.NET Core, Node, NPM, React, Typescript, modern ES, the whole kit and kaboodle. I can tell you it took me a loooonnng time to get it all figured out. A lot has changed in the latter half of this decade.

      Do you think for the better? - I don't think so

        .Net? Absolutely. Tools? Oh yeah. JavaScript, HTML, and CSS? Probably. The sheer breadth of things you need to know to stay relevant? Not so much - it's just too much.

  With the state of npm these days you can go on holiday for a month and come back to a new world and find your React structure deprecated
