CS undergrad, 2 YoE Frontend developer, want to ask questions about CS fundamentals /u/EverBurningPheonix CSCQ protests reddit

To preface following post, I am 26 years old, a CS undergrad, graduated 2 years ago, and have since been working as a frontend developer. I am new to this subreddit, so forgive me, if question like this was already asked. Also, if mods remove this, please tell me how can I change the post up so it gets accepted?

I have been immensely enjoying my work, working with others, learning off other brilliant developers, and so on. While career in CS so far has afforded me a greater and positive work-life balance, compared to other fields, and I have spent my free time actively doing other stuff than just coding, I have also regularly refreshing my CS fundamentals, of which I have an even better grasp than when I did those courses in my uni (multithreading fucky still).

My question is to all experienced developers here, and I know this is a tricky and long winded question. My personal view in all this AI era is that while AI can lead to issues, developers with particularly stronger grasp over CS fundamentals, and frontend fundamentals in my case as well, will be able to progress further, and be constantly and smoothly update themselves to newer tech stacks etc. Personal anecdote here would be that I spent considerable amount of time getting a strong grasp of CSS, flexbox, Grid, which has helped me a lot in adapting better and better to whatever stack I am asked to use. My question is how do you experience folks keep yourselves updated, any blogs, websites, channels etc and any resources you have to strengthen your CS fundamentals? As mentioned earlier, I have been doing all of that, but having more knowledge and resources can never hurt.

And, second question, is for the web developers here. Obviously, internet is a fast and changing field, how do you with many many years of experience, have kept yourselves relevant and updated, since every other year, seems to be some new ? Any tips, and advice you have vis-à-vis frontend? Also, lately I have been wanting to get into backend as well, any resources and guides regarding that? I just don’t want to do coast and do my job, I want to actually understand and keep getting better at it.

Thank you to anyone who read this whole post, and especially to anyone who took their time to reply, I appreciate any response.
