After many years of following the JavaScript ecosystem, there's one thing I learned: most of the "many things" out there don't stay relevant for long. I personally make a conscious point of not diving into the hot new thing of the week when it first pops up on my radar. But maybe when it pops up for the eighth time, maybe only when it keeps popping up consistently over months and years. There is, for a developer, little to no first-mover advantage when it comes to the JS features or frameworks. And even if there was any point in trying to stay "on top of things": expecting yourself to know your way around every mayor JavaScript tool and library is as unreasonable as trying to become an expert in every programming language. Truth be told, even though I live and breathe even keep a list of things (JS frameworks and APIs) that I've _explicitly_ decided to never take a closer look at, just for mental memory management purposes. No one can be an expert on anything in any field. |
