I agree, once you know the patterns and the foundation of the web new tech is not that hard to adapt to. I agree as a new dev it can feel like a bottomless pit, in the same way low level programming feels for most new devs. That said web frontend has had a wild ride the past years. But its really starting to stabilize now, around a few core frameworks (react and angular for example). Sure there is still forks and revamps but its not the big world changing differences (like going from jQuery to react was).
