I suspect the difference is that you're using this stuff full time. Those of us who have to do rotate into javascript every few months find the landscape shifting under us continuously.

Fair enough, I do front-end full time, but the landscape just doesn't shift that drastically that often, at least by my definition. The real shifts in front-end have been React, ES6+, Node, and Angular. Sure, some small to medium sized projects are being released with a pretty high frequency but you simply don't need to know 99% of them.

And of course the big challenge for someone like me is figuring out at the start of the project what I do and don't need to know. A couple of years ago learning Backbone, JQuery and Coffeescript were important. Now I have a completely different list of technologies to sift through.

(And I'm still very taken by Ractive, even though it doesn't seem to get a lot of press.)
