This is a sensible perspective, but the job market is actually the opposite of sensible (in a way).

Paradoxically, the (again, sensible) attitude that fundamentals are the same with a different coating, will distantiate one from chasing the latest fads... which is actually what the [majority of the] market looks for.

The job market for database and networking skills is pretty different than the market for web apps.

There are places where you get a job because you want to rewrite everything, and places where you get a job because you didn't suggest to rewrite anything.

I agree on the market being crazy.

Does any employer in the world interview people with real world skills?
