Don't take it personally, but you seem to hate quite a lot of things that are outside of your control, or just objective truths that are there to stay: * DevOps: If people find value in releasing software in an organized manner to avoid breaking websites / "testing in production" and losing a lot of revenue, why do you strongly hate or care at all? You don't have to work on devops. * Learning new frameworks: Did someone force you to learn every new JS framework released in the past 10 years? React is the main framework people have been using since ~2015-2016, and other frameworks are either not super important (latest CSS framework someone came up with) or worth the cost of learning (Gatsby, Next). Continuous learning is an important skill in all jobs. * "having the fundamental stuff I learned early on - objects are good, always separate presentation from logic - being totally flipped around": People realized that this is not the right approach for building web frontends. These best practices are not meant to be seen as dogma/ideology, they adapt to people's experience (and usually will only apply in some contexts) So I think you can just relax, enjoy the parts you love, and be more open to things changing around you.

You don't have to work on devops. Nowadays, devops can be the process police, where they define rigid processes which make their life (releasing, version management, hotfixes etc.) easier at the cost of the developers. The processes are automatically enforced by the tools and workflows they write (which are often slow and/or flaky BTW, making things so much worse), so there's no way you could just ignore them.

React is the same base frontend tech but the way you write React, with hooks and state management has changed quite a bit since its initial release. That said I've never bothered to try to become an expert in any particular language or framework. I learn the general underlying concepts and end up googling for the syntax for the first few days when I start using a new library or framework.
