  Except nothing prevents you learning both. JQuery is still far more widely deployed than React, Vue, and Angular combined. It’s not going away, it’s under active development. It may not be the big thing employers ask for this month but that doesn’t make it obsolete or “damaging.” If your career goal is to always work with the cool new fad then good luck with that. If your goal is to open the most doors and always have options get good with what most companies actually use. HN is not a good cross-section of the industry. It’s very short-sighted to focus on languages or tools, because most of them come and go. Instead focus on core skills, adding business value, solving problems, working with people. Those skills pay off forever.
