Dang that sounds so cool but also intimidating when there is noone who provides you with tasks or does code reviews.
Speaking of which, are you doing pair programming even with backend devs at times or do you have any mentor programs there?
Is it better to learn multiple frameworks (svelte, vue, react...) or to concentrate on one you are good at? In your example it sounds like you have to decide the best outcome and therefore you need the knowledge for it even if you didn't master it yet.

There's the occasional screenshare, but nothing I've seen that would qualify as "pair programming" IMHO. As for learning multiple frameworks, when you have the chance to influence the decision-making for a new app (which is rare - in any job), it's always nice to have knowledge of many different languages / frameworks / platforms / etc. But it's not like it's required. If you're on the team and all you know is Angular, they're not gonna expect you to offer a detailed evaluation of Svelte, Vue, React, etc.
