Sorry, but it is too long for me (not hate or something !).
jQuery is one of these tools, like WP, style preprocessors, Node, React, ES6, ... which changed something in the dev World.
There is no hype on it anymore, because of React/Vue/Angular, but the chance to use it is not small - some React libraries and the best UI libraries (if you don't want React///), are based on it.
If you want a carousel/modal/gallery for existing system, it is a good choice.
Still there is nothing better for dynamic selecting of elements and I am not talking about querySelector.

Well... the article is not about jQuery actually. It's about my career path. The path is very individual for every developer.

For a software engineer tools are transient, constant learning process is persistent. That is the message
