Hi! 👋

I'm a senior developer, and I know FA about React/Vue/etc. Like you, I'm a LAMP stack developer, and excel in building interactive sites without those JS technologies.

There are roles for people like us (at least in the UK). Just keep looking :)

If you want to brush up on anything, improve your vanilla JS. That'll give you a good base to pick up one of the frontend frameworks if a job requires it. If you're going for a junior role, the fact you may not know React, but understand vanilla JS will do you wonders. Just apply for the jobs. Job specs are wishlists anyway!
