Well it used to be that you would learn HTML and CSS, then some JavaScript for basic UI, dom interactions then later Ajax. However now it seems people are learning React, Vue etc first and so to a man with a hammer every problem looks like a nail. I truly believe we have lost sight of progressive enhancement in modern web dev. Especially with the business-oriented drive towards hiring full-stack, two for the price of one mentality but 9 times out of 10 you end up with someone who doesn't appreciate the subtleties of each layer of the UI and how they interact. And now with browser vendors pushing out new features faster than we can learn them, it really is becoming overwhelming, even if day to day things are still manageable. When you have a million ways to do the same thing, each with its own trade-offs you can start to feel some career anxieties. I fully agree with the sentiments in this article and hope it will be heeded.
