But let’s face it, not many people can master so many tools, so the presence of 10x programmers is gonna be rare. There are so many tools in JS for us so we eventually got tired: JavaScript fatigue.

Yet another JavaScript tool is not going to make a significant difference in your productivity.

Knowing something completely different like R, TensorFlow, or Erlang, and the specific scenarios where those are exactly the right tools for the problem you are facing, can completely change the kinds of problems you can solve in a short amount of time.
