Even though JavaScript fatigue has settled down, now we only have a few major UI libraries, state management libraries, routers, and recommended ways of server-side rendering. Now you can calmly make your app without messing with webpack and babel configs. But the pace of innovation hasn't slowed down. Things like GPT-3 are trying to make NLP better than ever before. As a Programmer, our knowledge is a deprecating resource we need to constantly feed it with new things to stay relevant in the market. Here are few people I followed to keep up in web dev space.
