It is incredibly pertinent. Even with the 20+ years of web dev I sometimes get swayed with clickbait like "If you are not using <frontend tech x> you are behind the curve, you are missing out, nobody works this way anymore, you are toast." This is an incredibly harmful take from those influencers. I do remember when it started - and it came from a good place, from a desire to "modernize from jQuery soup". But what it turned to now is noise that is sometimes hard to ignore.

It is only natural for a dev to ask themselves "am I still current? am I still relevant?". The induced FOMO triggers the worst bits of that anxiety, and sometimes I feel the influencers do not realise just how harmful this is.
