> Many people go in at the peak of hype where it's "overpriced" and lose out. Even if it's a good stack, you won't be as good as the people who have years of experience in it now. It's too late
But what if that is the case, and also there aren't many other options because the tech reached a critical mass. Do you try and catch up, or do you quit, or somewhere in the middle?
For example, I don't really have much React experience, and now the entire market is basically React. It's not hard, I know at least enough to get going reasonably well, but I probably don't know as much as some bootcamper who graduated 2 years ago and now their 2 years of React is considered more highly than 5-8 years of various other things.
