I get the feel that as i grow older the more and more meme languages i am being forced to learn in order to stay competitive . While normies just jump on to one promotion after another with just a firm handshake and not having to learn 120 different programming, version control, containersition and various other languages...
Where does it end

That's because normalfags ruin everything. The destruction of technology and home computing can really be pinned on the eternal /v/toddler. Starting in the late 90s computers were being used as numale toys and not as tools, and that's what made everything go to shit. So just like every other good thing, NPC retards have completely fucked programming into the dirt with OOP shit and abstraction for the sake of abstraction. We're at the point where web browsers might as well ship with their own kernels.

My primary language is C, and there is no indication that it is going to change any time soon.
Webdev is a horrible meme and you shouldn't have wasted your time going into it.

>computers were being used as numale toys and not as tools
this is ironic coming from a Jow Forums poster
people who enjoy reinstalling operating systems see computers as toys, not video gamers who just use it to run software
Grayson Morris
Creating, installing, and developing new operating systems is what created the tools required for /v/edditors to piggyback on our hobby and ruin it. Prove me wrong.

what do you do?

Learn to become comfortable with the fundamentals. I mastered C# and it doesn't seem to be slowing down in terms of applicability at all. The containerization and meme languages/frameworks are mostly just noise generated by newcomers who need some training wheels to hold their mental abstractions together. Anything you see someone doing with "kubes" or nodejs or some meme framework can likely be implemented much more directly and cleanly in your preferred systems programming language. For persistence you can safely ignore nosql and blockchain. SQLite and PostgreSQL are all you need. I fucking promise.
TL;DR, 99% of the new languages, frameworks and tools can safely be ignored. Focus on what you know and what problems you actually want to solve. Don't invent new problems just to create use cases for fancy new tools, unless this is contrary to your particular autistic preferences.

>our hobby
like you said, toys
Using a computer to run software is using it as a tool
And the tools most people use were made by Microsoft wageslaves
Perhaps you should complain that people are stealing your toys and maybe mommy will tell them off for you
Anthony Young
it does kind of feel like professional programming has gone from being skilled at highly technical problem solving to just trying to find a module to do it for you and going full retard if one doesn't exist

>he doesn't know about the origins of windows, the people who made it, or how they learned programming
Peak /v/toddler. Windows has roots in DOS and OpenVMS, and the people who worked on OpenVMS were some of the guys who originally worked on Unix. Unix started as an open source project shared on tapes. You're welcome, nigger.
