If you feel "outdated" imagine how I felt when I did the jump in my professional career from C/C++ to React. My brain almost exploded.
My story is a bit funny as I started reading javascript.info to learn Javascript (I didn't even know that the language had changed from the times of jQuery), as well as the official React docs and Redyx videos in egghead.io. I did this while rocking my newborn son to entertain myself on our long sleepless nights.
Fast forward a few years later and I'm really loving React. I would say that no matter when you finally decide to learn new tech, if you ever need to, is that you will find yourself at a huge advantage of understanding CS terms in a very solid manner, as opposed to many devs who just learn what they need to learn in front-end.
As an example, our React application is growing and many developers seem to have a hard time visualizing what data structure is best suited and more performant for what, while if you have a solid BE background, this is an everyday life question.
Same with network requests. A network request is delayed, some race condition happens, etc. You would probably know right away where the issue is as opposed to someone with less experience in Backend.
Cheers and good luck!
