  As a React developer I have the strictest policy to never go lower level than the browser and I never touch other fields of computing. I started my computing career in 1986 knowing only React and I'll get to the end of it knowing nothing else.

    >> it feels close to the metal > never go lower level than the browser So maybe "close to the DOM" rather than "close to the metal"? :-) On the other hand, if you ever want a project to get you out of your comfort-zone(/rut?) - check this out: https://www.espruino.com/ https://www.espruino.com/ You _can_ go "bare metal" and still use your hard won javascript skills... > I started my computing career in 1986 knowing only React That's a big gap in your memory between 1986 and when React was first released in 2013. Or _maybe_ 2010 or 2011 if you were working inside Facebook back before they released it publicly...

      I’m giving GP credit for the joke :) it’s hard to mistype 201X as 1986.

The web will be very close to metal in five years. Google is working on it.
