I promise you. If you ignore the churn and learn the fundamentals, your skills will have an order of magnitude longer shelf life.

If you know js and web standards then anything on the frontend is just a new application of the same ideas. If you know a bit of networking and a bit of operating systems then web development in python/django/Scala are all just interesting new ways to say basically the same thing.

If you know the specs then you don't need to find out about technology by following 100 different blogs.

Occasionally there will be new fundamentals to learn but you'll be ready because you won't have a backlog of relearning framework X's new way of saying "hello, world".
