> the business doesn't care and would rather have something that works

True, but unless you own the business, the business' goals are not your goals. The business wants a working product; you need to stay relevant in a career. Sometimes these may align, but not always.




Right, which is why I said learning isn't part of the job description.

When I hire devs, I base their relevancy on what functionality and results they produced for their employer/project, not how new their tech stack was.

Go ahead and learn new stuff but if you know the fundamentals, the frameworks are just different syntaxes for the same thing. But don't assume that someone who doesnt keep up with things every day or week is somehow irrelevant. These frameworks won't change your productivity that much and your output is what matters.
