Hate to break it to everyone but its really not like this, unless you're stuck in a loop of a bunch of resume driven engineers there's alot of stability in frontend development, especially since the advent of meta frameworks (Next.js, Nuxt, Modern Angular etc) and stability in tooling (rollup v2+, webpack 5+, and especially esbuild / vite)
If you want to be even more stable here, you can forgo a lot of headache with web components, which will always have some backward compatibility built in thanks to it being build on standards.
It isn't 2016 anymore. New frameworks aren't just popping up left right and center and expecting adoption. There's a lot of stability out there and there will be for the foreseeable future.
Much like any engineering endeavor there are, yes, people pushing the frontier, but all communities have this.
- JohnBooty 4y agounless you're stuck in a loop of a bunch of resume driven engineers This has been my experience and the experience of many peers that I've heard from. Admittedly, there's an inherent selection bias there... people dealing with frustrating situations are certainly more apt to speak up about them.
