not really, like if you're broad then it means you get muscle memory for "any old shit". Like I'll happily blunder into language or tech stack because the implementation patterns overlap so much after you've juggled a few things.

Of course the specifics are different but the muscle memory can get you through. I'd say the worst bit about it is that you often feel impostor syndrome pretty bad because in many cases you're never 100% sure about stuff like you might be in a speciality.
