Computer science concepts build on each other, but technology and frameworks don't necessarily get more and more complex. If you fall behind, you could always skip a generation of technology, and pick up the one after just as easily. In fact, it may be even easier. I've noticed the trend of new frameworks and APIs getting simpler and easier to use over time. Yes. In the world of programming you have to always be learning, but you can take a break from learning, and jump in later if you stay in the same place technologically for too long. It's not like if you fall behind, you need to learn everything in the time period between then and now. You just need to learn now.
