some people are not ok, some people lose their jobs and suffer because they are too complacent and it's too uncomfortable to adapt.

This is the lazy guy path, is not the wise one.

People mostly lose their jobs and suffer through no failure they were positioned to avoid, and often through no fault of their own at all. Spending your career chasing fads out of fear of being abandoned to penury is at least as limiting as mere conservatism towards new technologies. The risk is real and the fear is valid but that isn't the solution, no individual action you can take is the solution.
