This sounds like a boring existence. I take your meaning, but want to point out that not everyone learns about things because of practical utility, some of us find it incredibly satisfying to learn how things work just for the sake of learning.

Sure but no one's stopping you? I know a great many things of no direct practical value to me.

There's also things I don't know and don't have the time to learn which are very helpful to have AI do for me: web interfaces are really useful and I look forward to them now working exactly how I want. I'm not ever going to regret not spending more time trying to figure out how to center divs or which framework I should use because they're all deprecated.

Well there is this one framework, CSS, that is quite alive and well :)

But point taken.
