Obsession with the latest frameworks and the proclivity to refer to someone as an "X developer" for some X ∈ {popular frameworks} is a sign of ignorance/immaturity, both for developers and hiring managers.

Those with a solid understanding of the underlying principles (both computer science theory and, in the case of front-end development, the core web standards) are the best positioned to make the most impactful contributions.

Focus on mastering stuff that doesn't change, or changes slowly. Otherwise what you learn will be irrelevant five years from now.
