> But I hate web development. How can I “jump ship”? Hate is a strong word. Eventually you will at some point have to write boring HTML and CSS and maybe some Javascript. I don't hate web development, but I have grown to dislike the rapid pace at which that industry changes. It seems the minute you think you have grasped it all, the whole ecosystem changes. New HTML elements come out. New build systems, libraries, even entire stacks come out (Think JAM stack etc). However as an industry, web standards have matured to a degree that writing a SPA is an allowed thing to do. It used to be you'd have to cater for a bunch of browser quirks for different browsers. Now you can safely write something in Firefox and it will work in Chrome with no cross-compat coding on your part. I will give the webdev scene that, but it still changes too frequently for my liking. So you've just mastered React? Watch out, because gatekeeper recruiters will put 'Must have strong proficiency in Svelte' just to annoy you.
