how much is changed since those geniuses started to work in this particular field? Me coming from web full-stack dev and see how things change fast and I find myself jumping from A way to B way very quick these days. I just need to know your perception of how fast thing goes and changes on ML.

You change frameworks and tools pretty frequently but they are still all built around the same building blocks: html, css, javascript etc.

It's pretty much the same in ML. These people built the building blocks that we still use in ML everyday (e.g. backpropagation, ConvNets etc). But the fine-tuning, packaging and tooling of these techniques also changes all the time and it can be hard to keep up. Having moved from full-stack web to ML I have a similar feeling about the pace of things.
