Ask HN: Returning to work after 5 years?

After a 5 year hiatus, I’m planning to return to a programming job next fall (so I have about a year to prepare).

Previously, I’ve done generalist web development stuff (front end, back end, database/api, integrations, a bit of devops, design work).

And a few different kinds of employers: design agencies, product companies, universities, startups.

Since I haven’t been in the market for a long time, I’m curious to hear how it might have changed.

1) any recommendations on pieces of the web stack to focus on? I’ll be spending a year or so brushing on current tech.

2) what’s the current job market like? I see a lot of React jobs, but I can’t say I love React

3) any advice for reentering the job market after such a layoff?

Thanks!
