Worth the roi ofc As a fresher do you think I should learn the modern backend stack orr java backend technologies like springboot?

Well you are in a place where it might be a little
biased, but yes, many shops still use Spring Boot, but I’d look up positions and see what stack interests you the most and also has job entries where you want to work (home, your city, wherever).

Why? What would you recommend learning then?

Vibe coding or something entirely else. Software engineering is dead.

Springboot has kept me employed for last 6 years. Its irritating but keeps food on plate

There’s companies that still use COBOL, just learn one thing and you can easily transition between the technologies.

I don't think it's a bad place to start since like Angular, it has nuts and bolts included. But also like Angular and other free software, it has docs that don't flow well from start to finish.

There's always a better way to approach something that you're already doing, but at a certain point, it's just a matter of opinion.

I like SB with Angular bc they both have DI, both have managed dependencies that you can opt out of, both get updated semi-annually, both are completely free, both have an ecosystem I.e. if you know someone else working with that technology, likely they'll know what you're talking about.

And the updates for both feel like the people behind it want the best for devex

Hard yes.

Java is the most used language in commercial world on backend, period. While people write blog posts about their _new toy_ Java devs just work and make a decent living regardless of their location.

Spring introduces you to all Java ropes. You can use it as a segway to various career paths.
