Re:Ask HN: Should I even bother competing for React jobs?

I feel the same way, and I'm in Canada. I absolutely do not have 'passion' for anything related to development of any kind really, at least not anymore, and I think it's a silly word to use for typing code into a screen. I've done a little native mobile app learning, a little backend/sysadmin stuff in Python, and a little Go and C++ just for academic interest. My connection with various aspects of CS and programming is about particular interests, and no I don't and have never felt that about React in any way. Computers and programming lend us a lot of power if used in novel ways, and I think that's worth something, but I wouldn't describe it as passion. It can be isolating, it can be pointless and damaging to our bodies, it can be intensely boring and frustrating and not stimulating. That said, Vue is neat and interesting for some reason, but not so much so that I'm building arbitrary projects in it weekly.
