You can still be a software developer, just don't follow the trends and look downwards and specialise. What part of development do you love the most? Do that, get great at it, and don't worry about the daily currents, just look at the yearly trends and stop worrying.

Did you know people still do greenfield development in PHP and that it's a huge market? I bet that wasn't even on your radar! Stop reading Techcrunch and specialise in what you like.
