If it’s any solace there’s no honour in what you’ve spent your time learning. I’m a mechanical engineer by training and my “knowledge” is as concrete as it could get besides something like physics or pure mathematics. In theory I can design and create wonderful things in the physical world instead of random API’s on a server somewhere. Does it matter? Not one bit! Useless historical trivia like why we used x tech stack or why that engine sounds a little funny at 3250rpm are what provided value at the time, but times change and that’s okay. I suspect no matter what career we pursued there would always be some part of it that seem frivolous to us.
