I'm 33 and a frontender. To be honest, it doesn't bother me too much. I think there are a core set of skills that see you through all of the change. Things like: knowing how to work well in teams, working well with graphic designers, experience with how sites work in terms of UX, web service integration, good understanding of backend structures and HTTP, estimating on projects, dealing with clients, dealing with management ... these are the tricky things that make good developers great to have on projects I think. None of the new tooling, workflow and languages that come around are rocket science, and you can get up to speed on something in a few hours, especially if you have knowledge and experience of what came before and the problems the new tools are trying to solve. I still enjoy learning new things, I don't think we can expect the rate of change to slow down - if anything it may speed up. Its a young industry, nobody knows the right way to do things yet, let alone what the "end game" state of interactive information delivery to humans will look like!
