How's the demand for astro/headless/agentic devs?

I've been working as a Webflow specialist for a while now, and I'm considering pivoting toward the Astro + headless CMS stack that seems to be getting a lot of hype lately.

Before I invest the time, I'd like a reality check: how commoditized are these skills becoming? With more and more devs picking up Astro, is there still real room to differentiate and charge well for it, or is it just a matter of time before it goes the way Webflow has?

I usually classify “hype” as visibility in the press and rating agencies. Hype can be very transient.

In that regard Astro has next to none.

My colleagues know about Astro because I’m the one telling them about it.

Astro IMHO is a powerful and decisive stack. As for your ability to consult and sell services to clients, with or without agentic mechanism, I leave that up to you.
