Tech stacks come and go every few years (5 years is a pretty good run for a framework / stack), careers last 20-40 years.
You're going to need to develop skills outside the tech stack that are generally useful and have a longer half-life (like debugging, SQL, shell scripting, source code management), and also proactively switch to a new stack every now and then.
