Mind sharing what fads have been the most profitable for you?

I can’t take any credit for having some omniscient insight but I was lucky enough to start Java development in 1996. It pretty much gave me a career.

Same deal, 2001 when C# was in beta.
That's worked out.

I've done a wide variety of things. I try to keep two disparate things on the go. Visual Basic between 1992-2000. C# between 2002 and 2015. SunOS/Solaris admin 1995-2002. SQL Server 1999-2010. Linux admin 1998-present. Python 2005-present. Cloud infra/AWS 2012-present. Go 2015-present. I also did some random PHP and Perl things for stupid money in the 00s. Now I'm Linux, Go, Python, cloud infra.
What I really want to do is be locked in a room with a niche project I can look after until I'm dead a this point. But that ain't gonna pay the mortgage off...
