The only regret I have is I spent ages 21-24 thinking I was too cool for "boring" tech like Django, Rails, REST, etc. I was definitely hyped on a lot of the cool tech back in 2013-17.

This did not affect my career that much and I am glad I got exposure to obscure concepts but feels like I had to learn the basics a little late.

I have the same feeling. Who knew I would be working on PHP in 2023. And surprisingly it's so much better than JS at the backend at least.
