So what happens when your company's roadmap consists of technical slop and they won't pay you to learn things like differentiable programming? Do you think they're going to pay you to write Vue.js until you retire?

This strategy might work for a few years, but is a long-term career hazard. You are in charge of raising your own bar.

Honestly, this is a good reason to consider a job change. You can learn new/other tech on your own, sure... but not nearly as efficiently as you can in-situ.

Besides, the tech itself is rarely the limiting factor.

Currently in this position. I'd rather find another job that cares about giving me the tools and helping me do the tasks they want me to do, just busting my ass in my own time doesn't solve the underlying issue.
