It’s not about doing anything world changing. There are a few dangers in burying your head in the sand and not keeping your skills in sync with the market.

- lack of optionality: If for some reason you don’t like your job, you’re stuck because it’s harder to find a job if you don’t check at least some of the boxes.

- alternatively, your job lays you off after you’ve been at a company for 15 years doing ASP.NET Web Forms and you start looking for a job and you find that you aren’t hireable. Then you start screaming “ageism” (I’m 45).

But you are among the most blessed human beings on the face of the earth to be getting paid triple the median salary to sit in a chair typing on a keyboard.

The median salary in the US is $56515 (https://wallethacks.com/average-median-income-in-america/). The median salary for a software developer is $100,690 (https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-develope...)

Also the best way to even get that is statistically to job hop at least early in your career.
