All other comments in the post are gold.
Always stay relevant with skills and knowledge relevant to the market - one day you work for papa Google and everything is great, another day you'll get fired without you seeing it coming - job is not a family.
It's fun and games to master a skill/technology, but if there are no jobs for that, that is a red flag.
Generally it's important to keep the hobby-job balance, and to understand that sometimes your hobby specifically won't be your job, and that is OK because most of the people are like that.
