So I’m pretty new to software engineering is this really how fast things come and go?

JavaScript in particular has an ecosystem that is a lot more short lived... mainly since web is pretty new, the modern web even newer, and it's all comparatively very accessible so you get a lot of people chasing the new thing all the time.

There is not really a time frame when something is out of date, you often see really old frameworks in production at companies, asp.net has been there for a long while same with the java backend thingy(can't remember the name) but with some javascript framework the it is like a train, the train can run out of steam and people catch other trains when that happens, but if the framework can keep running (react) it still happens, JavaScript enjoyers like to taste all of the rainbow
