Stop Building on Corporate-Controlled Languages

If they had to relearn their craft because they changed tools, they weren't very skilled to start with. You've drawn the wrong conclusion here.

And yes, I hopped off the .net train after 15 years of using c# and took a job writing python, and some JavaScript. I had done JavaScript before, using jQuery. Now I had to learn react. And they used MongiDB as the primary data platform. I had spent the last decade working with SQL.

And it was fine, because my skill isn't tied to a single tool.

This is really naive about how much of effective programming is about knowing the frameworks, libraries, corner cases, idiom, etc of each language.

Sure, you can write-in-C in all languages, as the saying goes. But to be a professional, and to paid as a professional, requires a lot more.
