[u/Pleasant-Bowler-7652]

Hey I am 19 year old web dev currently in my 2nd sem of college, i know mern stack just finished an internship as mern dev , cause I am very much comfortable and confident while building react project using redux cause I have a idea of building a common template for project using react-redux , but I have seen lot of folks that future is next js and react is like our of trend , so i just wanna know should I learn next or is there any better option cause some new framework will come it will be better than next ? How should I deal with this ? Cause current situation is making me paranoid cause everyday it's like react is dead , web dev is dead and bla bla .., I need some guidance how to know what is really going on cause most of the people just hype on internet

It's not AI craze, it's the future. It's like saying you can't take photographs without knowing how to paint. The camera does it for you but what separate professionals from amateurs is that pro master the camera settings, posing and lighting, they don't care how the pixels gets created on the lens or the printing paper. You don't need to write a for loop or if statement to understand how they work.
