Stressed about career in computer science and engineering

I am pursuing cse, I am good in frontend web dev but I don't know what exactly I want to do. I, not very often but sometimes feel very stressed about this, job, passion, career, etc etc. And I know no one exactly knows, everyone's interest, job, career change atleast in most of the case. I know that I am interested in technology, and in the end I will figure something out. But when there is more than one path to follow for example: 1.

Bootstrap (as of 2025) scss variables

I tried figuring out how bootstrap's built-in customisation options work in order to add my own eventually. What I mean are settings like this: $enable-shadows: false; When doing a folder search I was actually baffled to only find the variable in _variables.scss and nowhere else. I thought " maybe its hashed, or so ", but strangely I was unable to get behind the scenes or find any connection. nada. ...

What are programmers hired for

So what are programmers hired for, are they hired for problem solving abilities with code, or their expertise in a certain field for example web development and I know web development also demands problem solving. And I know companies also demand other skills like communication, etc but I am talking about major skills. So for example if a programmer is good at problem solving. But if he is not good in a specific field, will the company hire him because he can grasp any language in which the company works because he knows all the basics in programming, and like I said he is very good at problem solving....
