>>The most frustrating thing about dipping in to the FE is that it seems like literally everything is deprecated.
I build a lot of FE stuff for internal company tooling. Production, monitoring, dashboards etc.
Its crazy how the React ecosystem works. Like you can come back after two years to add a feature and realise you now face weeks/months of migrations tasks before you even begin to add the features.
I always compare this to something like say Java. Imagine if Java deprecated and broke everything every 2 years or so. Imagine the omni present migrations projects in the backend.
Sometimes I think this is why banks, and other places that need long term stability are still on php+jquery+LAMP stack.

I’m getting back into development after being a photographer for the last 10 years and after reading your comment I thought “maybe I should apply at a bank…”
