This sounds analogous to resume driven development. And I completely understand it. I have pragmatically chosen the best tech for the job (factoring in the learning cure for new tech and what I already know) and haven't learned much new tech for the last couple of years. Now I get the feeling my CV is looking a bit dated. Does it make me a worse at developing software? I would say not. I have mastery in a few areas rather than shallow knowledge in a lot. Will it make it harder for me to get a job? Quite possibly if I keep going this way.
