And about the politics... Only people that want to play into 'politics' game really cares what's happening here - other people just don't care and live happily.
When someone calls me (it's a recruiter, or other) I've almost always put him/her down with the line: 'Please send me a text message, e.g. an e-mail and call me back tomorrow' or something - I prefer read information first, think over it, and then do the answer.
But I think that's the main objective of phone scammers to fool you around and put the quick (bad) answer on you.
I even take struggle to mark EVERY SINGLE advert on facebook as a spam or inappropriate - I think that may make me a facebook user with most unrelated adverts to my actual interests - and I recommend everyone to do the same.
1. Many JavaScript devs were focused on 'getting job done' in their current workplaces, where they were using jQuery-related stuff mostly.
2. After some time they want to change job.
3. They realize that the js market has changed (or maybe they were aware of it, but they just didn't care before/didn't have time to take a closer look before).
4. They try to keep up and learn tons of stuff to be employable as js/front-end devs (npm/webpack/js frameworks).
It's just a personal opinion. I was at that point in my life before too (and realized that it was my personal cause of my js fatigue)
For me, the solution was to change job. I didn't want to work on a thing that I haven't believe in. It was just uninteresting. Now I can say I work in awesome place, on wonderful project where I learn interesting new stuff every day and feel that I become a better dev every day.
It's still in baby steps, but I'm already building my personal website using it (so I can see what features I'm still missing), then I plan to build a starter theme and in the end official site.
