I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I would say it's something that affects developers early in their career rather than early in terms of their age.
I am also in the camp that thinks generally having the fundamentals down is good. That's why they teach things like arrays and classes and so on at university before they teach higher-level things, and that's why knowing Javascript will set you up for knowing React and not so much the other way around.
But on the other hand, I also recognise that there are going to be more and more people who rely on high-level tools to get the job done. It's not my thing, sure, but isn't that the ideal way for humanity to progress? At some point, being able to say something like, "Alexa, make me a game where princesses have to defend their tower against invading heroes" will actually work, and that's practically our Glorious Star Trek Future.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
