>I have no trouble at all "keeping up" with the "insanity" that is front-end development. If you're confused learning new things, it means you're learning.

This naive view though assumes that all learning and all stuff to learn is created equal and is all good.

That is, that the IT industry can't possibly produce junk for people to learn ("busywork", programming fads, over engineered platforms, oversold technologies, etc).

People who have been through the J2EE-hell of mid-noughties, which even its creators condemned and abandoned several years later, but which at the time was touted as "THE WAY" to build enterprise software, and you just had to "man up" and learn it, respectfully disagree.
