Discussion on: If I don't use React, am I still a developer?

This resonates with me so much.

I honestly feel like none of my other skills matter at all any more; The only skill that seems to matter is knowing React.

I've been trying to improve my JavaScript skills... I'm pretty comfortable with DOM manipulation, but I don't know ES6 well, nor have I ever worked with APIs or done anything with Node.

I am trying to improve but so many days it feels like I can never move fast enough to keep up, and I worry that my type of Front End Developer is going to disappear.
