This is most obvious in front end web but the simple solution is to not be an "Angular JS specialist" but a "Front End specialist".

Right, but now you are back to square one. The solution to terrible market dynamics for grown-up programmers is to specialize. The solution to specialization risk is to become a generalist.

I guess you could repeat this until you are 40, then get a nursing degree (not easy!), and actually start your life. :)

There is "specialist" like "Angular JS expert" and there is "specialist" like "web application development". Specializing on a single product is bad, but specializing on delivering applications through web technologies (notionally a more general title) is good.
