I'm not sure having to learn how some kid decided to design a new package manager is what we should be re/learning. If anything it might kill your career as you keep learning basic libraries and never understand the underlyings.
Thank you... 42 here (at it about 20 years now), and I can't imagine where my career would be today if I stood still at any point. Even in the JS and front-end space alone there's a lot to learn. There's adjacent tech too (various db's, cloud providers, ci/cd, docker, etc). It hasn't stopped or stood still and never will.
If you want to base your future on something you already know, you're in the wrong profession.
