I'm still liking frontend JavaScript, but I am getting real tired of the ReactJS ecosystem, however I don't have the slightest idea how to get a job that's using a newer one such as Vue or Svelte

It does feel like once you've done the same framework for a while you get seen as FRAMEWORK dev instead of LANGUAGE dev

Any protips? This is kinda half a rant too

I’m just learning react for my personal project and love it with laravel.

However I’ve been coding for over 40 years and have moved to about a dozen different tech stack/languages/frameworks. So I feel your pain.

What worked for me was making big projects on my own time, using stuff new to me, then using them to talk about to different people.

It’s how I got out of Ada and doing windows 95 programming in c , and how I escaped Ruby on Rails

Oooh okay, I will get on that, I was thinking of rebuilding my personal homepage in Nuxt or Astro, partially cause I realised that it has a lot of parts that don't need to exist
