Current front end dev, here. My employer pays me to write JS, have been doing it for +4 years.
I've become comfortable with the fact that JS never stops changing (note the use of the word changing, not improving). I concern myself with fundamentals, not framework-flavor-of-the-month. I encourage others to focus on the same.
What I am not comfortable with is the stubbornly-held strong opinions many JS devs have. Much of the time, a particular JS dev will believe their way is the one-true-way(tm) (which is a problem among a lot technologists in general).
JS devs are the JS fatigue...not JS itself. I get bent when JS devs judge me for not staying up to date - JS is my 9 to 5, not my life.
For all the JS devs out there who hate me right now - check out Elixir, its the new "new."
FWIW, my personal projects are Spring Boot and Kotlin.
