The pace at which React is evolving is both exciting and frustrating. There is so much you can do with all these new tools, but your code is never really up to date.
I picked up web development 1.5 year ago and already went through several stages of re-learning. It's great that the ecosystem is developing this rapidly. But it does require significant effort to stay on top of the latest techniques. Especially if you're not a full-time developer.

I wouldn't say that the pace is too fast, it's just that you started at the right time :) Hooks are by far the largest change ever in React, but that happened after many years of stability.
